Pooling talent

Ms Harris whilst I am sure your comments were well intentioned you have missed the point entirely. The type of legal advice required by Locog/ODA is no doubt varied involving a range of tasks that will require the services of a large firm but many tasks that do not. The failure to allow for a proper tender process for a range of firms, both large and small, to offer their services as required by other public sector contracts, is inexcusable. As regards secondees, the phrase 'there is no such thing as free lunch ' springs to mind. If you pay me £40 million I am sure I can provide you with a dozen secondees who would be willing to work on a once in a life time project.
