So you say, but there's nothing about that in the Guardian story you reference. I don't know any of the background but the piece is about the local NHS trust challenging the county council about the way they ticked the boxes in the tendering process. There's no suggestion Virgin did anything wrong.
If you are saying that such open tendering shouldn't be happening at all, I would say that (a) as a quote in the piece says, the council was legally obliged to do this, and (b) I'm not at all surprised that an NHS Trust was found to compare unfavourably in a comparison with just about any other way of organising just about anything.
