Ain't that gonna cost a vast amount more than it does at present? i thought they were all about cutting costs (or was it maximizing profit?)

I can't see a private firm being any better than the tried and tested quality people that have been doing it for years.

So now it gone out for tender and they do contract it to someone then there won't be any more collections for the helicopters as the money will have already been paid in the tender costing. Or will the helicopters cost £9000 per day each like they a supposed to now here in Yorkshire.
