Presumably no voltage reaching the starter solonoid. Just to check it run a wire from the battery and just touch it on the small terminal on the solonoid, it should turn the starter, if it does you have a problem somewhere between the battery and solonoid, possibly the ignition switch or the immobiliser.

If it doesn't turn the starter, either its faulty or there is no voltage on it due to a poor connection between it and the battery.
