Big love to the contract 'winning' firms who were more than happy to shaft their competitors in what they perceived to be a gold rush for the Faberge egg of Duty work, and especially to those amongst them who were quick to smugly broadcast the fact, when they thought they'd landed on the greener side of the apartheid fence.

At least the consultants had a good day at the races, and the fees that these firms were falling over themselves to pay for their services should be tax deductible.

Tenders come and go. Some bidders win, some don't. Sometimes the procuring party changes its mind. It was there in the small print (for all the lawyers to see).

That's commercial life.

Welcome to big school.
