Re: Spotted the problem?
So am I understanding that the Army paid Capita to develop a system which it than retains the rights to market?
Why isn't the contract written to grant Capita a provisional license to re-distribute ITS bought-and-piad-for code, and to ensure a lifetime service on the results?
And why isn't the penalty clause that the Capita staff must stay on board until the contract is delivered in full, and that if delivered late the said staff will be considered under recruitment themselves and get sent to boot camp prior to posting to places foreign and dangerous?
Given the holes in this sorry thing it would have been far more effective to recruit an Army IT team to do the job itself.
