Like contractorisation too.
They look at the in-house cost, decide that if they can save £Xm then contractor provision is the way to go. Contract let and for 5 years sunshine and light. Contractor grins and bares it. Come contract renewal contractor makes realistic bid. He is either undercut through ignorance or his bid is way above the budget line entry. MOD grins and bares it.
Come the third review, MOD ability to return in-house is zero, contractor grins, MOD bares it.
