Contractors are threatening to pull out of bidding major PFI projects after a decision by a NHS trust to scrap a hospital project cost Amec £7 million in wasted bid costs. The firm was named preferred bidder for the £167 million scheme in Essex at the end of 2004 but the local trust pulled the plug on the deal last week because of funding issues. Amec had been expecting to reach financial close later this year. Outgoing Amec chief executive Sir Peter Mason said the firm had immediately started negotiations to get its money back but admitted the trust was not legally obliged to stump up the cash.
