As part of the MoD Commercial organisation I can state that the MoD do NOT always go for the cheapest tender bid - but do try to evaluate on a pure Value for Money basis. This evaluation process is normally considered well advance, has much criteria for marking matrix and is on many occasions subject to clarification and revise and confirm procedures. the facts will be that any UK company who prepared and submitted a propsal were just not acceptable on all critera.
The Mod budget is however very much stetched and all involved are feeling the pinch.
On another note, Omni have bee operating out of Brize for a number of months now on contracted work.
