Much emphasis is placed on competence as a prerequisite for tendering for Measured Term Contract in all public sector jobs here in NI. Quite rightly so. However, with tenders being accepted at circa minus 60 minus 40, I fail to understand how any kind of financial health for contractors can be assured by such ridiculously low rates. Surely government has a duty to ensure that appropriate sums are paid for work on public property otherwise contractors may fail financially which will hurt the whole fabric of society.
Can I ask if anyone is aware of the acceptance of such obscene rates on mainland UK?
