That was Grayling, he cost the taxpayer billions on his ****ups.

bUt tHe GOLLD?!?!?!?

 

I wondered if anyone on here knew how contracts were issued, and it seems they don't, and unsurprisingly just rely on their own bigoted wishes.

How do companies win government contracts?

Every year the government spends billions of pounds on thousands of private sector contracts, ranging from global companies to sole traders.

But how does a private company win a contract in the first place and what precautions does the government take to protect taxpayers' money?

The National Audit Office (NAO) estimates that just over £250bn of central and local government money went to private suppliers in the 2015-16 financial year.

For smaller companies in England the starting point is often the contracts finder website. This is where private firms can look for opportunities to win national and local government contracts worth more than £10,000.

Applications will usually require a written bid which is then "scored" by the government department or agency. After the applications are whittled down, bidders will normally be interviewed by a panel of experts in the relevant field.

"Scoring is often done on different parts of the contract," explains Colin Talbot, professor of government at the University of Manchester, who has experience at tendering for contracts.

"For example 'quality' and 'price' might be done by different civil servants."

The scoring criteria is meant to be a fairer way of choosing suppliers. It means civil servants can't just choose their favourite bid after reading them all.

 

Now please look into the special measures introduced for Covid.

Didn't read lol

 

Only two per minute trying to bury their bigoted ignorance. Hey ho.

 

It's Sunday morning ffs lighten up

I'm very chilled old love, it's effortless amusement.

They face a lot of problems, as the departure countries for the migrants believe the current occupiers of the Canaries stole what they believe is their land, and they've made several attempts to win it back, so will be sympathetic, if not supportive towards the migrants.

 

So it's an attempt to turn the Canaries into a ****hole like the departure countries?

 

The man who, after overseeing the biggest ****up on the railways for 100 years, claimed he didn’t run them. Which, actually, he didn’t, but he should have done.

This really is the most spectacularly inept government in British history. Criminally inept, you might say.

 

Yep. The logic is pythonesque. Their culture has failed in the region it evolved in, and they feel they are entitled to the benefits that industrialisation has given the west. That would be a reasonable basis for an argument, if they didn't insist on carrying on with the culture that has demonstrably failed, and would leave them (and us) back where they started economically, only in a different geographic place.

 

The only time you’re chilled is when you’re locked in a fridge with Boris

 

Then when nobody wants to employ them because of their low IQ they scream racism.

 

It's interesting to see those getting damp at what they perceive as government profiteering, are pretty much the same ones that ignore the likes of Blair getting wealthier beyond his salary while he was in Office, or Biden owning a property his salary for the last 4 decades can't support.

Are they blinkered, hypocritical and bigoted or what?

 

Biden thinks that getting the funds via his son is sufficiently arms length.

 

I thought the Civil Service were giving out the contracts?

I call anyone stealing off the State a ****. You're wrong. Again. Bit of a pattern forming here, no?

 

Aye, but I guess the argument would be that those were private transactions, unlike those done by the UK civil service on behalf of the Government.
