§ Mrs. BrintonTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if bidders for the Metropolitan Police Command, Control, Communications and Information (C3i) project will be reimbursed their bid costs if the project is terminated. [104127]
§ Mr. StrawWith my agreement, the Receiver for the Metropolitan Police District is prepared to reimburse the C3i bidders some of their bid costs solely in the event of cancellation by the Metropolitan Police Authority resulting from a change in policy following transition to the Metropolitan Police Authority. The bidders will be expected to continue to bear the normal commercial risks and costs associated with failing to secure a contract.
