For the record....The winners are Ferronats and Saerco.
Serco and a joint venture partner did bid but were unsuccessful. Serco and Saerco should not be confused in this context. Saerco are a virtual unknown and the fact that they achieved ANSP certification is evidence that there was a great deal of dodgy dealing, bureaucracy and politics involved in the selection process.
It will be very interesting to see what happens now given the elections issue and the transition from one provider to another.
Let the games begin.....
