Rifkind firm awarded NHS contract despite charging £7 million more than NHS
(not satire!)
The Cameron government awarded an £80 million NHS contract to a private firm despite the company charging taxpayers £7 million more than an NHS consortium bidding against it:
Stoke NHS hospital scanning contract won by private firm
The government didn’t say why the firm – Alliance Medical Group – won the contract despite its bid being more expensive.
That’s because the bidding process was for some reason secret:
“This whole process has been shrouded in secrecy. We don’t even know who – expert adviser or public representative – were on the panel.”
Probably nothing to do with the fact of course that a director of the firm is none other than disgraced Tory MP Malcolm Rifkind?
