What is in dispute is whether the pandemic would prevent a competitive tender. At no stage in any of the correspondence do they claim they could not run a tender.

They would prefer not to - because they know as we both do that there's no "deep pockets" streamer waiting to blow Sky/BT out the water.
Well, I’m certainly not disputing that. Of course a pandemic would not prevent a competitive tender. The pandemic has increased the risk factor, and bids would inevitably affect that, which is the reason for the proposal.

I don’t believe that you have any links to show that the request was for any other reason.
