If they're not running services, they shouldn't receive a penny of public money; nor should they be considered for any additional work.
GNE have committed to delivering several contracts issued by Nexus. They may be covering these one/two a day misc. works contracts and scholars (when they figure out when half term isn't), but there's still several instances of secured services not being ran. In the latest version of the Nexus contract that I've seen, they have the ability to terminate the contract if the strike lasts longer than a month. Given they've only managed to operate two weeks out of the last six, I'd say it's time for Nexus to start giving notice.
Completely agree - wonder if anyone has stuck an FOI in to the relevant public bodies yet to identify whether public funding is still being pumped into GNE shareholder pockets while they fail to operate the contracts.
But but but if they took the contracts away and put out to emergency tender, what could poor Ben write about in his next bragging piece on how well the company are doing, if unable to still claim to be operating select contracts?!
