The future of UK SAR, post SAR-H
Come on all you grown ups out there:
Hands up everyone who thinks CHC were going to do loads more than the ITT asked for and that's why they were justifiably £600,000 more expensive!
And now hands up everyone else who lives in the real world and thinks CHC were going to offer exactly what the contract asked for and pocket the rest!
Why does anyone think that a massive commercial company were for some reason going to do loads more than required and put their bid at risk by being super expensive? IMHO they bid what they thought the government were prepared to pay and got caught out by 2 companies prepared to cost it properly. Just a guess mind!
