Mentioned in the article is that the RFP process may have given valued 'experience' highly. It remains to be seen exactly what that means, but the AB company complaints could be read as "we have less experience and only wanted to charge 3x more. #Unfair. #Sad."
I am curious about a lot of things about this whole program - not least of which is how it rolls out to the far flung rural areas of the province.

3x higher hah. Typical Alberta companies.
Doesn't mention anything about them mandating that specific brand either.
