Apparently the way these tenders work is those deciding aren't allowed to see who made the bids? In other words they may not have known it was a French company. You would hope so because it is a bit mad to make the passports blue as a symbol of taking back control whilst moving passport production to Europe.

That said I don't really care. If France gave the best bid then good for them. We let them run our nuclear power stations and the Germans run some of our trains.
