What another load of crap that we didn't need!!!!
How many of us needed a dedicated and, no-doubt, money absorbing team to tell us that JPA is 'Unfit for Purpose' (I think they were looking for nice ways to say 'Bloody Farcical')????????
And throwing Bowman back into the argument adds weight to the question, "Did the NAO do ANY work at all?" One person could have read back through a number of open information sources, over a few weeks and gathered those conclusions. To be fair to them, I don't know how they were able to cherry-pick Bowman from the massive pile of dung that is British military procurement in the late-20th/21st century. It would be interesting to acually see ALL of the projects that have cost substantial sums of money before failure or were finalised, over budget. Tie that survey into a look at how many times a last-minute, quick-fix, UOR type solution had to be sought out to deal with a project that failed/was rejected. Then, add in a study of the number of projects where a preference for UK industry resulted in budget busting and/or late delivery.
Still, it gave us something to talk about, eh?
