The licence comes up for renewal and must, as a result of EU law on procurement, be put out to competitive tender. The Government has decided to construct the deal as it has because of the up-front funding we want to obtain. Whether it be a five or 30 year licence, once one seeks a preferred bidder, it is a matter of EU law.
