Re: The balls on Raytheon...
If the USG can kill a contract with no notice or payment, why cannot the UKG negotiate to at least have some penalties.
The UKG seems to be incapable of negotiating a contrract at reasonable rates with meaningful penalty clauses for late delivery or substantial quality shortfalls.
This is particularly true of IT contracts where the same companies win the contracts and deliver 'sub-standard tat' years late for at least 3x the original price.
This is accepted like every other time and they are still allowed to tender for future work as if they are the best companies going.
No smaller companies could get away with this.
No customer of mine would accept this on any contract no matter the size.
Yet at government level the lowest level of common sense or commercial nouse is missing.
They are so gullible, I do wonder how many 'Brooklyn Bridges' and 'Eiffel Towers' they have bought, in the past ?
