Whatever happened to the free market ?

Just asking.

Also, why is there an almost religious belief that .gov systems have to be "bespoke" ? It's attitudes like that which allowed Capita to bill Birmingham City Council £1.2 *million* a year to run a bespoke (and utterly crap) glorified CMS that is www.birmingham.gov.uk.

Because, like Russian homosexuals, there are no OSS projects that would have done the job.
