You may have heard about the £469 million that the Government wasted on big Fire and Rescue service control rooms. The IT system never arrived and everything was rushed, but still the Government are paying to lease the buildings. The Beeb had a look inside one of the 8 unused centres today. They’re costing the tax payer £4 million PER MONTH to maintain. Scary stuff.
It’s a fault with the Government and the suppliers really, with most suppliers using this algorithm to come up with prices..
Price to public sector = Price to private sector x 10
