A company which makes an electronic tagging device will have to wait to find out whether it has won a multi-million pound contract.
Buddi, based in Walton Street, Aylesbury, is vying with two global firms for the Ministry of Justice contract.
Originally buddi, which has been used to track criminals who reoffend, was meant to discover whether it was the preferred bidder at the end of 2012 but will now have to wait until March.
