Perhaps Crab, Tango, Jim or Vsf can help out here as they are as we know the experts and fonts of all knowledge.

The bidders had their phonecalls several days before that and some other elements lagged a bit. It was a couple of months before the redacted contract docs were in the public domain.
If you search for UK SAR Helicopter Service on businesslink you should find the contract docs and some stuff is still on the DfT bit of gov.uk.
