More developments in the police's controversial business partnership plans. We report in today's Post that the largest security firm, G4S, and outsourcing specialists Capita are among the firms competing to become partners with West Midlands and Surrey Police.
The forces have published the names of six bidders which have been selected to move on to the next stage of the tendering process in the partnership programme, which critics describe as privatisation.
Some of the bids come from individual businesses while others involve a number of firms working together in consortia.
The bidders are:

- Capita Business Services
- G4S Care & Justice Services
- Kellogg Brown & Root and IBM United Kingdom
