This is a prime example of the arrogant (We know best) attitude from Bombardier. They don't even bother to deliver what's required in the tender, while they have this nonchalance attitude about delivery time.
They cancelled the tender. They didn't have a contract in place. This is how RFP processes work. You put out your requirements, companies bid and provide their terms, and you choose the best bid or nothing. In is very common to have responses to RFPs that don't meet all conditions. Normally the differences from what was requested and what was offered are due to misunderstandings or vendor inability to meet the requirements. I don't think any vendor thinks "they know better and are going to provide an unwanted product" because they want the business and other companies could have tendered.
