MSP response to the R100 legal challenge by Gigaclear

Well,

I contacted my local MSP who forwarded on the enquiry regarding the basis of and potential length of the delay to Mr Paul Stephenson MSP.

Today I received a lengthy almost 2 page reply, spectacularly avoiding answering the questions asked in true politician style.

My thanks to Stewart Stephenson for his enquires, but what a waste of time for all concerned'

I've recently done an interview with the R100 team but have yet to write it up. I did ask about the Gigaclear issue but for obvious reasons didn't get much feedback (once a legal case begins then the reality is they can't say much until it's sorted).
 
Hi Mark,

Amongst other questions the main thrust of the request was that while specifics may be confidential, the General nature of the challenge can't surely be confidential. That to stall a major government procurement without some disclosure of the basic reasoning was not in the public interest.

Mr Wheelhouse merely stated that the decision was challenged by Gigaclear and thus the contract could not be signed.

In my request i was quite clear that i understood sensitive commercial detail would be unreasonable to release. I think their response is very poor to be honest.

If someone is accused and charged with murder, that ok to report, so how is the general issue of the objection raised by Gigaclear different.

I also requested information regarding the potential length of the delay, again zero information returned.

I did get a full page trumpeting the R100 commitments and aspirations of the Scottish Gov.
