Note to Editors

1.      RM will now work with Lambeth LEA to refine the solution design and to
        negotiate acceptable commercial terms and conditions.  If negotiations 
        conclude successfully, the project is likely to progress through 
        preferred bidder stage to contract award by the end of 2004.
