Under the Labour Government I have seen such a mismanagement of tendered funding.
Check out just how much profit is being made by both public and private sector organisations who have won tenders, in particular, to provide services, education and training in our prisons and probation service under independant contracts. These profits have been to the detrement of the offenders and the staff numbers working with them.
In a small amount of cases a large percentage of the funding won by providers is not going where it should..
Check each provider contract out. I am sure this will result in big savings which will have no effect on the services provided to our offenders but will have an effect on the profit levels for the organisation with the contract!
