The live music company has filed a letter of complaint to The Royal Parks raising "serious concerns" about the tenderandbid process for the new four-year contract up to 2017.
The next year, Advantage Partners made a tender offer bidand acquired all outstanding shares for JPY 250 billion, of which JPY 170 billion was financing provided by syndicate whose members included Lonestar, Shinsei Bank, and Credit Agricole.
It pitches for business much like any other firm that relies on government procurement, basing a tender on its past history with a customer and its best guess as to how rivals will bid.
