UK: Southampton runs into procurement conflict of interest issues with ALS
|
 Southampton, UK (Spend): Applied Language Solutions (ALS) appear to have won the contract by promising large savings that replied on them reducing the price paid to the actual people who provide the services – who work as independents in the main. Those staff have not surprisingly been less than happy on occasion to see their rates halved or worse, so ALS have struggled at times to meet the service levels required. Then, to add a bit more spice, Capita acquired ALS, which excited publications such as the Guardian and Private Eye who it’s fair to say don’t have a great affection for that firm!
