Is there anything wrong with this FREMM frigate design that the Canadians are rejecting for a Type 26 British design?

I know they did not follow 'procedure'. My question is which Frigate is better?
I suspect the local shipyards in Canada prefer ships made in Canada.
I just read an article in the Canadian paper where the Canadians are rejecting a bid from an Italian and French Consortium to build 15 frigates for $30 billion dollars. The Canadian government wants Lockheed- Martin Canada and BAE Systems to build a type 26 frigate that is still on the drawing board and not proven yet. The 15 Canadian frigates planned are going to cost about $62 billion dollars. Here is the article I'm talking about it.
I bet you here there are a bunch of experts who could give a better insight into this situation and let me know what you think.

Liberals reject warship proposal that companies said would save taxpayers as much as $32B
Industry sources alleged the Canadian competition is skewed to favour a bid by Lockheed Martin Canada and the British firm BAE which would see Canada buying the Type 26 frigate
