This is a contractual dispute with teviot, and as such I'm not going to
discuss it further on the list. Supplier problems are always a risk. I
should note that the local orga team did take suitable steps to avoid
this from day one. The alternative arrangement we are currently providing
fits all of the documented requirements, and should not prove to be an
issue.
If there are additional requirements which this may cause issues with,
please contact me and suitable arrangements will be made to support
these.

Kevin
