Has an fND provider already fallen by the wayside?

Submitted by Sir Humphry on Tue, 28/07/2009 - 4:20pm

I keep coming across a persistant rumour that an fND provider in the West Midlands has already lost their FND contract. Has anybody else heard this rumour? The conversations I have had have been with people with a lot of credibility but there have not been any announcements and all providers seem to be cheerfully gearing up for delivery.

I've not heard anything myself, and contracts are supposedly being signed this week. When it comes to contracts rumours, I'm firmly of the belief that nobody has a lot of credibility. Anybody else? Please don't name the provider if you do contribute!

Me too - I've not heard anything either, and I start rumours all the time.

I have heard that the auzzy provider who sounds like a scottish cow and a man in shining armour has pulled out of the UK mid tender however. That will be fun when the subs find out....

That rumour would be the one specifically countered by their statement at the bottom of the discussion on this story.
