Basing Options
The colour code debate regarding Cu certainly reveals some insecurities amongst those who clearly hope to step across in their little geographic comfort zones to SAR-H. For many reasons Cu future is secure - SAR or not. But ask yourself this - does MoD realy want civ SAR on any of its real estate. Come 2020 when we may wish to sell off or wind up an establishment the prospect of having to deal with a beligerent tenant / squatter is unpalatable, particularly if they have invested in infrastructure. We (MoD) don't know what the future holds and am sure would be only to pleased to see the competitive bidders propose alternative basing options. For that to be really effective though would commit the process to be handled under Lot 3 bids rather than the spectre of 2 companies running Lot 1and 2 separately.
