Not sure what barron is referring to all the people directly involved in any contract that is lost, he can pass on to the winner under the TUPE regulations so he wouldn't have to pay redundancy
I guess there might be a few central admin jobs that he would have to cut but which he cannot justify are directly involved in the particular contract. Not much though
This also means ATCOs need not fear such redundancy (unless the new contract owner believes it needs fewer ATCOs which sounds unlikely)
