It's all very well saying that (and personally I do agree), but in a lot of cases its the small operators putting in ridiculously low bids for contracts that do the damage to themselves.
I'm not saying this is the case with JPT, but we've seen it several times over the last few years.

Ultimately I believe that the cheapest bid, that can deliver the stated obectives without any service or company viability issues should win. If that's a national operator rather than a local one, then so be it. Unfortunately there's no place for sentimentality in the deregulated (business) environment.
