@DrMarianaClaire@JamesMelville Stop buying the expensive shit and then they'll drop their prices. If you keep buying it you're the fucking muppet in this equation.

@jayfoulkes78@procurementfile@WokeWaste@RupertLowe10 Let's be real, if local government ran this function, it would cost a hell of a lot more than an efficient company with experts being paid fairly for their knowledge and skills.

@DRDEESTRONG1@carlton13@procurementfile@WokeWaste@RupertLowe10 Their value proposition isn't their ability to compete on a cost front. The PRS is far more lucrative for property owners. They front themselves as a hands off approach for the property owner as their way of attracting landlords.
@DRDEESTRONG1@procurementfile@WokeWaste@RupertLowe10 I used to work for Serco at a Group level They aim for around 4% profit on all their contracts. People do need to be mindful that the operating costs of this ยฃ1b would be around ยฃ960m.
The reality is serco are better equipped than local government to deliver these services.
@disclosetv This is the equivalent of 0.01% of UK spends in the calendar year, just FYI. The UK spends 1,200 billion per year. I know the sum seems grand to us as individual households, but it really is a drop in the ocean. No pun intended.
