November is the time to get the tenders in and obviously there will be time to go through them in order to make a decision.
In regards to SP, the climb recently would indicate there has been interest even though I would prefer to see evidence of this rather than speculation.
I would be more than happy for a March decision if that means they are weighing up the best option from many offers on the table.
I would be less than happy if the offers(non or very poor ones) meant the board went back to the drawing board to execute a whole new plan of attack.
We will find out soon enough one way or another.
cheers donedeal
