Carillion directors to be investigated

[Master]

I work in procurement and in the private sector and it is my job to ensure that there is due diligence carried out when we contract with a provider. If you only award to the lowest bid which is unrealistic then it is a false economy.

What X describes in his post is very bad and abuse of contract management.

The anti-capitalist rant was me being sick of public assets being sold to the private sector and PFI contracts have been a failure.

Obviously you have a grasp of Contract Administration and I respect that, and I agree about awarding to the lowest bid being a false economy. I also agree about PFI Contracts in the whole and the lack of clarity.
But my point was that it's easy to highlight the guy with a golden handshake, but in truth he is just a very small cog in a very large wheel of corruption and mismanagement of funds and before firing the gun of blame, this is what should be focussed on.
Anyway mate, I never meant you any disrespect.
