Thanks for posting those contract details,

But that document appears to be the source for at least some of the iNews article.
For instance, section 2, THE REQUIREMENT, starts:
The Authority urgently needs to increase the number of trained aircrew to match operational demands. The Authority is seeking consultancy support for guidance on how best to:
1. Uncover the true drivers of the aircrew recruitment-training-deployment processes and visualise this for easy consumption
2. Allow RAF to simulate outcomes (e.g. number of trained aircrew over time, cost incurred) given a selected set of potential interventions and engage stakeholders across the organisation on what the path forward should be
3. Work with our existing tech systems and data partners to develop a roadmap for how to deploy and scale appropriate digital tools and hardwire appropriate change into the organisation.
It then goes on to detail the deliverables that you quote.
So I’m at a loss to understand your invective against iNews, which you accuse of
slack research by an editorial team who couldn’t even be bothered to do a 2 minute search on Google and read the links.
It seems to me that iNews has done us all a favour by publicising this, and that, very far from offering “total tripe”, the paper is actually reflecting a deeply disturbing situation that the taxpayer needs to be aware of.
