This sort of thing makes me absolutely mad. That video shows that public sector staff do not know how to procure technology and that they think value for money means spending money.
We have similar problems where I am with public money being spent on insane projects (budget set for £1Million on branding the county currently out to tender). Excuse me? My issue is that the money goes to such a small pool of people. It keeps an agency in profit, it keeps some public sector staff busy, but it's not good use of millions of pounds of tax payers money.
I get so angry with this kind of thing - I've had to go out of my way to not get worked up by these stories by trying not read about them or view the figures involved.
I recently saw a £0.5M funded project which was basically a page with a video embedded in it. Great - I'm glad we paid for that. I'm glad my children have sacrificed their school books for your weak ass web interactive project which you managed to con someone at the local council that 1/2 a million was cheap.I need to go calm down - sorry. I've seen so much wasted money like this. . . . .
