Question New afghahistan contract - whats the story

Does anyone have any information on the status of the current Afghan CAA ATM tenders??

Off their website, all the info is there. I am aware they had a big briefing day in Dubai in April 2013, and there is a bunch of Utube flicks which covers that meeting, very interesting. There were up to about 20 interested parties there for that.

The timelines were not realistic as according to the briefs they wanted the contractor in situ by end 2013, but that never happened.
however word has it that 6 or 7 companies who specialise in ATM contracts were invited to an onsite briefing in Afghanistan around mid January, but only 3 or 4 actually turned up and as far as I know tenders had to be in by the end of January.
The winning tenderer is supposed to now be in situ by June or July this year, not sure that is realistic timeline.
My contact has informed me that Serco is one of those tenderers but trying to find out who the others were. I would expect at least one US company to tender, but since I suspect there will be issues about guarantee of funding and payment many may not be interested in this one.
Does anyone know when the announcement is due for the winning tender is due to be made?
Anyone with more info please either PM me or post on thread.
