I forgot to mention A300s are now in relatively short supply and as this is a PFI you (the bidding company) need to guarantee some additional form of revenue for themselves.
The bidding companies were at liberty to choose which ever airframe they deemed most suitable to meet the RAF's tanking requirement and for their third party revenue and the aircraft of choice seemed to be the A330 for most partner airlines.
