Tenders close in Feb, and a decision is due in May/June for an 'Interim BFT'. Has to be up and running by Jan 1 2012
and will run for a minimum of six years until 5428 finally gets its sh!t together!
There are four tenderers - three of them have pitched the old NSC HQ at WSL with a view to moving to ESL if they win 5428, while BAE is sticking with TMW for now.
