THE BBC'S PARTNERSHIP WITH ATOS

http://www.government-online.net/bbc-relocation-services/

"In the case of technology requirements, the BBC may involve its technology partner (Atos IT Solutions and Services Limited) to assist in the scoping and drafting of invitations to tender and/or the evaluation of tenders. However, the final decision as to which is the most economically advantageous (by reference to the award criteria) will be made by the BBC. The awarding authority reserves the right not to award a contract and to annul the procurement process at any stage. Tenders and all supporting documents must be priced in sterling and all payments will be made in sterling. The contract shall be subject to English law."

WELL WELL WELL.

SO THE BBC AND ATOS ARE TECHNOLOGY PARTNERS.

I THINK, IN THE LIGHT OF THE DISGRACEFUL BEHAVIOUR OF THE BBC CONCERNING THE HARBOURING OF PAEDOPHILES AND THE COVERING UP OF THE PINDOWN CHILD ABUSE SCANDAL, WE ALL NEED TO LOOK IN MORE DEPTH OF WHAT ELSE THE BBC AND THIS FRENCH/DUTCH GOVERNMENT APPOINTED QUANGO HAVE IN COMMON.
