LONDON, Nov 1 (Reuters) - BAE Systems will bid this week for the first stage of a 4 billion pound ($6.6 billion) contract to build armoured reconnaissance vehicles for the British army, the Sunday Telegraph reported. The bid for the order to replace the Scimitar scout vehicle, vulnerable to roadside bombs, will pit BAE against U.S. rival General Dynamics Corp, the paper said. A decision is expected in the first quarter of next year. Winning the deal could help BAE secure jobs at home, though the group has not decided where work would be carried out should it secure the contract. BAE was not immediately available for comment.
