Title: Is that all?
Post by: Snoopy on March 19, 2010, 11:01:10 AM

A report out today says that poor procurement procedures are costing taxpayers ?25billion a year.

Frankly, from what I have seen of Government Procurement Procedures over the years I am surprised it is so little.

Will anything be done about it? I wouldn't think so for a minute.  noooo:
Government Procurement is a business all of its own with far too many vested interests to let a little matter of ?25 billion stand in the way of lining pockets.
