This includes an uplift mechanism for 3 units which have not yet been accepted.  It is currently not known when these final 3 units will be delivered by the manufacturer.",

There is therefore an absence of competition for technical reasons and there are therefore no reasonable alternatives to the supply provided by Alstom Engineering\nand Services Limited",
