MOD Procurement Green Paper
At the risk of sounding a touch jaded at this 'tolerant' time of year...I hope this effort is a bit more meaningful than the last! When the DIS was produced and circulated with great fanfare I was the Defence Attache in a non-English-speaking country. I was sent, probably at great expense, boxfuls of shiny pamphlets purporting to detail UK plc's 'new' approach to procurement, and instructed to send them out to the MOD and industry of 'my' country.
I refused, for 2 reasons:
a. If I, as a fairly competent English speaker, couldn't make sense of what was being spouted, the locals were going to give it the stiff ignoring it deserved, or keep coming back to me for explanations.
and
b. It was all self-serving, industry-driven b*ll*cks anyway.
Just my tuppenceworth! Not holding my breath for a "road to Damascus" moment!
