    Its possible they already are tired.

    After all, G4S got the contract to do the trials for pip - not atos, odd considering atos is the DWP's medical services.


    And IBM and another firm got contracts for universal credit IT work.

    Still some contracts left to assign though, so atos may still get a look in.

    Worrying for them if they dont, considering they are specialists in IT and already heavily involved with the DWP.

    and we should be deeply worried about that

    Not necessarily. That would depend on whether atos have bidded on the outstanding contracts. Even then the award criteria would have to be taken into account and any weighting considered.
