Quick note: Brexit consequences for IT

Re: European HQs

They are already deep in pooh due to lack of tax revenue, and you think this will help?

Warning flags were raised over GDS farm payments system – yet it still failed

Mainly a problem with the public procurement processes that are designed for the benefit of the suppliers in mind rather than making the best use of taxpayers money.

Very hard to kick-out under performing suppliers, very hard to make penalty payments work, very hard to give work to suppliers that have proven they can do the job.

Every procurement is a lottery.

Also somethings just shouldn't be put out to fix priced tender, the requirements are just to weak or evolving. Fixed price on these means paying a premium for the supplier to take on your risk, or suppliers that win knowing full well they can't deliver, but that they will get paid in anycase. Plus they will still win more tenders in they future regardless of how badly they perform...
