Obviously, as the taxpayer is both funding the contract and the customer then this information will be freely available ... won't it?

Yes, any whining in the background is an APU.

The UK Gov't is due to pay over £1.6bn for this across the next 11 years, so it better be good.

However, redacted is a bit of a theme throughout the available paperwork.
