Defense and Security Intelligence and Analysis: IHS Jane's

Cassidian preparing lower Typhoon bid for India's MMRCA, says UK defence minister

Cassidian will submit a revised bid for the Eurofighter Typhoon in India's Medium Multi-Role Combat Aircraft (MMRCA) contest in an attempt to beat the price package put forward for Dassault's Rafale, according to UK Defence Minister Gerald Howarth.

Howarth, the minister for International Security Strategy, said that EADS subsidiary Cassidian, which is handling the Typhoon bid for MMRCA, is formulating a "fresh price proposal" after it emerged that Rafale was chosen because it was offered at a lower price, or L1.

In comments carried by India's Business Standard news service on 9 February and confirmed to IHS Jane's by the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD), Howarth said: "If the decision turned only on price, Cassidian will put in a revised price offer. The four nations [constituting the Eurofighter consortium: Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK] can produce a winning financial proposal, and I fully expect that Cassidian will be doing that."
