4.14 The Project Company may exclude a company from bidding where, in its reasonable opinion, it believes that such a company would increase the risk borne by the Project Company. The Authority should be able to request the exclusion of any prospective bidder on the grounds of capacity, capability, financial standing and security or for reasons that, in the opinion of the Authority, are in the local interest. Organisations that are not short-listed should be given the opportunity of a debrief.
