Chaos

The Gorse Fox is often amused by the chaos imposed by procurement rules for public bodies. Frankly the process is broken, it is costly and is probably the reason so many public IT projects fail. It is certainly a huge cost on the bottom line by adding 6-9 months to the process – costs both vendor and client and seems to frustrate at every turn.

Today was meant to be a “clarification session” in the latest procurement. At the last minute it was postponed because the client has gone into an emergency huddle to reconsider. Hey ho!

Anyway, GF is now back home on the coast – so all is well.
