Exactly, who do you think is doing all the dosage modelling for all their other drugs? And they haven't signed a multi year agreement, it says it has no fixed term and no guarantees it will be more than a year or even similar revenue. Learn to read, or stop lying. And exactly why do you think it's such a meaningless amount. As I put in context before, they employ 60,000 people, even if they gave everyone 20p worth of free coffee a day, that's 5 million quid a year. The cleaners who have a contract most likely get more than 500k revenue in a year. Let that sink in when you try and make a deal of a billion dollar company spending pocket change on a non essential service for only one type of disease. Maybe it just saves them time, maybe it'better for them to contract the work externally than use the time of their own staff. End of the day, none of the speculation matters, it's only about 200k extra, on a company that is behind all it's peers, who do drug design and modelling for loads of drugs. That's why it's done next to no revenue all it's life, never been in profit, has to survive on grants.
