Just for the record
I have just had sight of a FOI report as to the cost of the former contract for servicing the two fleets (Viking/Vigilant) for the ATC.
The contract ran from Nov 2008 until Mar 2015.and cost £9.6 million.
It seems amazing to me that it took over 5 years before the 'system' was found to be wanting.
It would be interesting to see how many contractors have shown an interest in the 'recovery' plan.
Not sure if the ATC 'white fleet' contract runs to the same timescale.
Nice work if you can get it!,even if the customer does not get it.
It seems to me that the contractors should have been put under more pressure to resolve the situation whilst they were still responsible to provide the service.
Unless of course the 'contract' was not exactly well founded in the first place and those responsible for that input are now out of the 'blame trail'.
