HH, The lack of capacity is what I don't agree with but I absolutely agree with you on the level of Guarantee. A proper level of Guarantee would have stopped one bid dead in it's tracks and that level should have been made clear and strictly adhered to from the start.
The FG loading figures were quite high but there was a method behind them. That (very different) method, quite properly, didn't fully come out in the MP's discussion on the whole debacle as it was regarded as business sensitive. It still is, to an extent.
The whole ICWC bid procedure was a stream of DfT ineptitude from start to finish. You got the distinct impression they were making it up as they went along whilst wanting to keep all the bidders in the competition.
