@glynmoody just thinking with all that money, they could maybe have funded their own app to be written for gov, where they owned the source code, and could use it across all local authorities. I don't get why separate solutions get sold to each local authority.

@danie10 @glynmoody Can't be done, Danie. Check under the headings Corruption, Kick-backs, Gravy train and others.
