Doesn't that result in paying twice for management ?
One problem is that MoD's 'procurement' side has 'Team Leaders', and under them 'Programme Managers'. When, in practice, they are Team Managers and Programme Leaders; and the latter deliver, often despite the former.
I've seldom come across a Team Leader who has the slightest idea what is required to deliver the requirement. Whereas a Programme (or even project) Manager is required to be able to do every job in the team. Sort that out and you're a long way to getting it right.
