This is just one product/service that PwC has provided to the UK Government, there have been countless more. It’s a drop in the ocean of wasted money.

But the Government isn’t being hoodwinked. It’s by design. Ministers need big departments and big budgets to boost their profile. PwC massively overcharge, so ministers can have their big budgets.

It’s win win. Only people that lose, are the tax payers.

PwC almost always subcontract, who then subcontract again. The people who actually did this work probably got 45k.

Subcontractors like companies like PwC, because they have access to Governments and multinationals and win contracts that boost the subcontracters’ profile.

How do I know? I worked at a subcontracting consultancy.

It’s not just PwC. It’s all the big Accounting Firms. It’s Capita etc.
