How much do you believe a thirteen day events contract is worth including time for setting up and at the end? In your professional opinion.

About 15 food banks.

Mate what do you think they are doing for £500k. They are supplying a table and a couple of bodies for support. They are not paying for transport, or even hotel room hire. If they were having to pay for the lease of the event office, which is unlikely, how much do you think this is? It is not a great deal. Someone is pocketing a few hundred thousand from this.
The tender was not allowed to go to any other supplier. That in itself raises questions of why they are refusing to follow accepted guidelines. They have very close links to oil companies, which means the oil companies will have an influence on position and effectiveness of each group. Energy companies do not want an effective COP event.
All of this and yet you want to throw in inuendo and derision. Defending these scumbags is a pitiful hill to die on.
