Why award such a tech and data heavy contract to an old fashioned industrial supplier? Surely a tech industry player would do a far better job.
No doubt it will be a waterfall-driven, silo'ed sub-contractor (with reduced visibility) led project of mismanaged requirements, insane beaurcracy and many years passing before development even commences. The same problems these traditional supplier projects suffer every single time, and every time the government says they'll learn, but as this shows, they don't!
This all just reeks of old fashioned procurement processes by the usual group of cosied up suppliers whose executives have shared many a fancy meal with the right politicians.
