Emma,

Lovely to hear from you direct.

The reason to speak with PA ( or more accurately their subsidiary procserve ) is that they have contacts at government who can help show the way / give us insight.

Regards,

Alex

Those individual hirings are done effectively naughtily by posting the person you need through an agency already on a roster - giving the middle man money for nothing, but this is becoming increasingly difficult to do. Mandating the use of GovGap in COI might be an idea, but that is government paying government for individuals, which is a bit silly, and some departments STILL require competitive tender through their own HR.

WHY of WHY would we need to speak to PA Consulting?!!!!

Hi

Have just spoken with Harry in Norwich

I suggested

1) we find a risk-taking buyer at OGCbuying solutions

2) we talk with PA Consulting who designed a solution for Wales
https://www.buy4wales.co.uk/UsefulResources/valuewalesp.html

I have a contact at PA who can hopefully find us talented people
within government procurement who will get this.

Agree with Emma not Intellect ( who are a lobby group effectively for
their own )

3) How did No. 10 hire d...@vebrig.gs OR how did Tom Watson find the £
10,000 - suggestion is they took risks among their other actions
