It is really important that we know who this entity is and its ability to fund and deliver a project. Knowing who the entity is will tell us this. If a firm goes in for a tender to build schools it has to say what its turnover was in the past three years and what its form is. This seems to be absent. It is critical that we know who the bidders are. The inclusion of subcontractors is a real curve ball. Are they beneficial interests? Can those subcontractors change? Why are they even included if that is at the case except to say the firm cannot deliver it itself but these people might be able to do it. This really exposes a huge flaw in the prospect of delivering and the longevity of the entity here. I have something in my head but I had better not say it.
