Calmac tender
After 5 years of uncertainty, we now know what is happening.
It is a waste of time and money.
Calmac got £13m to strengthen it's capital base prior to privatisation; they shifted the staffing company off-shore to save £1m per annum in Class 1 NIC; a reputed spent of about £2m on consultants to support the bid; and a new complex corporate structure, presumably approved by the sole shareholder, Jack McConnell - on our behalf.
Not once in this process has improved service quality been mentioned; but there is no limit on the spend on everything else.
