MY
TELNO INTRA 4: HONG KONG AIRPORT PROJECT: MAIN BRIDGE CONTRACT
1. LORD CAITHNESS TOLD ME AT THE END OF HIS BRIEF OVERNIGHT VISIT HERE THAT HE UNDERSTOOD (PRESUMABLY FROM THE HONG KONG GOVERNMENT) THAT THE TRAFALGAR HOUSE-COSTAIN BID FOR THE BRIDGE WAS COMPETITIVE IN PRICE, ALTHOUGH BEHIND THAT OF THE KOREANS, BUT THAT IT WAS SIGNIFICANTLY MORE HEAVILY QUALIFIED THAN THE OTHER BIDS, AND PARTICULARLY THAT OF THE FRENCH LED GROUP, AND THAT THIS COULD BE A PROBLEM. HE STRESSED THAT THIS WAS VERY CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.
