I don't know whether anyone fiddled with the process. I know we responded to a call for tenders.
That started in June 2007, with a Request for Information, followed by a Request for Qualification, to which we responded. We had the highest score, 83%. We didn't know who the other bidders were, but we got the highest result. That was followed by a Request for Proposal and we submitted our bid in September 2008. We were the sole bidder. Our bid was opened publicly.
