It's not necessarily independents being in favour of Nexus it's more to do with them offering a cheaper price to do the work, this is the whole point of the tendering process in the first place I guess!
I think people will start to see some interesting results with councils and PTEs having the purse strings tightened somewhat... This has started to be shown already with GCT winning what work they have, and I have heard rumours of them winning some of the school contracts but not had any confirmation yet
