Marmora Man, Yep I know very well how laborious the application and bidding process in public procurement is. (especially considering all the EU fuckery that has to be taken into account) But it didn?t stop the last government from having a go at strategic positioning and it won?t stop this one. The government may be bound by the procurement rules but a lot of the time they do set the agenda when it comes to what is being procured.
