"There is a huge difference between "don't work" and withdrawn due to "a safety issue"! " A bit dodgy on the contract though don you think? | |||

They tried really hard to follow the normal procedure. It’s much easier to give the dosh to somebody you know. Of course our tory members here won’t see anything dodgy in this. It’s just another coincidence.  | |||

"Fuckin so corrupt ! Dam this so so wrong !! As is our leader Dom and his stooge bozo the clown ffs Giving this to contract a Tory toff friend ! When we should be using our already up and running NHS labs and fkn medics !!!" Err you do know we are already using them? The stuff to 3rd parties was because we needed extra capacity fast. As for putting contracts out to tender, this is normal process, however it is allowed in law to step outside of this in times of urgent need, you know, like a global pandemic. It means we don't have to wait 6 to 12 months for all the companies to tender, then to be reviewed and processed. I would also point out that doesn't matter if you like red or blue, both have used this clause. I agree tender process is the better way to do it, but if you need it quickly, the approach simply doesn't work. | |||

So this is all a non story? "No. I don’t actually think it’s a non-story. There are questions to be asked. It is unusual for such a small lifestyle business to be awarded such a large contract. There are other similar situations that could raise eyebrows . Given the companies have supplied the product as per the tender, you can not disagree there is no ineptitude or corruption.

I think they have done marvelously with the furlough scheme, Hong Kong, raising awareness for domestic violence during the pandemic and The Magnitsky Act was utterly brilliant. I can say that but also say, this looks dodgy. | |||

You have no idea therefore you don't know why another company was chosen. Maybe it needs looking at after the event, or as I've just asked you, should we have not ordered from anyone till a lengthy tender process had been gone through. One that quite possibly might have meant we still wouldn't be getting and PPE or testing kits even now. Small companies can sometimes be better, they are quicker to adapt to changes and often have skills you aren't aware of just from a company name. Take Mitsubishi for instance, then have dozens of divisions that do way more than just cars. | |||

A lot of Tories have consultancy posts at companies, so do labour mps, so do a lot of the lord's.

It seems that the people complain on this thread are the same ones complaining that we didn't lock down early enough or start testing quick enough.! And you will literally defend anything. Look, if it's all above board, don't worry about people questioning it then
So make your mind up, do you want the stuff we need now, or do you want it maybe sometime around Xmas after a full tender process has been gone through? For the avoidance of doubt, you can't have both.
Funny though that companies with way more experience were crying out to make this stuff. Literally ringing the government and were ignored, but carry on....nothing to see here
Availability, volume, secure continuation of supply and cost.
U.K. companies making PPE could manufacture, but there were very few, if any, that could meet all of the above important criteria
And a company making pigeon netting could? "Yes - as they have supplied the PPE, as listed in the tender and at the cost required | |||

"Fuckin so corrupt ! Dam this so so wrong !! As is our leader Dom and his stooge bozo the clown ffs Giving this to contract a Tory toff friend ! When we should be using our already up and running NHS labs and fkn medics !!! Err you do know we are already using them? The stuff to 3rd parties was because we needed extra capacity fast. As for putting contracts out to tender, this is normal process, however it is allowed in law to step outside of this in times of urgent need, you know, like a global pandemic. It means we don't have to wait 6 to 12 months for all the companies to tender, then to be reviewed and processed. I would also point out that doesn't matter if you like red or blue, both have used this clause. I agree tender process is the better way to do it, but if you need it quickly, the approach simply doesn't work. And its just a coincidence many.of The companies involved had tories on the board. A lot of Tories have consultancy posts at companies, so do labour mps, so do a lot of the lord's. Law of averages says it's likely to get some crossover, does it mean it's corruption free, no, but what do you want to do? Stop any deals with companies that may have members of parliament involved? I think you'd find all MP's would have something to say about it if you told them they couldn't have their lucrative second jobs. Maybe it would make it fairer, but with the situation we have now it's unavoidable. Everything else takes longer time than we have right now. Isnt there such a thing as a conflict of interest? Its corruption pure and simple. I'd say the same of labour were in power. The fact that people don't give a fuck shows you what a nation of sheep we have become." I've literally just said that maybe it would be fairer if we made it so that politicians couldn't have second jobs, but right here and now, we don't have a spare 20 years or so to try to find some way of getting that changed we literally everyone in parliament would probably vote against it. We are working with what we have now not where we would like to be at some indeterminate point in the future. | |||

"So again - brummy What are you proud of this government doing during this killer pandemic. bearing in mind the bankrupt greece tested and traced - without " the best ever " world beating "app" of Boris's South korea tested, tested , tested - deaths from covid 380" Hey, don't compare with other countries. You can't do that. Well the government used to in the daily briefings then it stopped when our deaths overtook other countries. Then we have a glorious PM making double entendres about pants in reply to the leader of opposition meeting with grieving families. Boris, yet again, puts a whacking great foot in it. This from the bloke who nearly died from the thing. No wonder we are viewed as ludicrous by other countries right now | |||

You are mixing up how you wish things were with how they actually are right now." Well for a start we shouldn't have a system in place which is so rife for corruption. You also seem to be implying that it was unavoidable that the companies who were awarded contracts without tender just so happened to have links to the conservative party. Some of these companies also apparently had very little background or experience in developing ppe. One company was awarded a contract who had no workforce. I get the whole "it's an emergency debate" but in fairly sure they could have put those bids out to tender with a much shorter consultation period I'm fairly sure in the guardian it said it took them 3 months to give the contact to pestix and then they backtracked over the amount given. The whole thing stinks but like I said in another thread.This is arguably the most corrupt gmnt we have ever had. | |||

I am simply pointing out that not all PPE requirements are the same, it depends what roll you are fulfilling. | |||

"Do not forget this joke of a government counted items for PPE as As mops, buckets, plastic bin bags, individual gloves not pairs, bars of soap, washing up liquid, nail brushes, hair nets, single shoe protectors, And the testing was not per one person - it was for the swap and the bag and the other swab - thus falsely tripling the numbers - LYING Thus They came up with 3 tests when it was one - FACT CORRUPT as fuck OK let get something straight here. Have you ever bought or worn medical gloves? I'm guessing the answer is no. They are sold and packaged as a quantity usual 100. 100 gloves not pairs of gloves. They are not LH & RH because the glove itself fits on both. So a box of 100 gloves is 100 pieces of PPE. Were they not counting the items as double? And surely you are not going to use 1 glove are you? Actually you you can and do. If one gets dirty/damaged or you need to take it off for some reason you can just pull out a new one. Saves on waste." That's using 3..not 1? Did they count the gloves individually? | |||

"Fuckin so corrupt ! Dam this so so wrong !! As is our leader Dom and his stooge bozo the clown ffs Giving this to contract a Tory toff friend ! When we should be using our already up and running NHS labs and fkn medics !!! Err you do know we are already using them? The stuff to 3rd parties was because we needed extra capacity fast. As for putting contracts out to tender, this is normal process, however it is allowed in law to step outside of this in times of urgent need, you know, like a global pandemic. It means we don't have to wait 6 to 12 months for all the companies to tender, then to be reviewed and processed. I would also point out that doesn't matter if you like red or blue, both have used this clause. I agree tender process is the better way to do it, but if you need it quickly, the approach simply doesn't work. And its just a coincidence many.of The companies involved had tories on the board. A lot of Tories have consultancy posts at companies, so do labour mps, so do a lot of the lord's. Law of averages says it's likely to get some crossover, does it mean it's corruption free, no, but what do you want to do? Stop any deals with companies that may have members of parliament involved? I think you'd find all MP's would have something to say about it if you told them they couldn't have their lucrative second jobs. Maybe it would make it fairer, but with the situation we have now it's unavoidable. Everything else takes longer time than we have right now. Isnt there such a thing as a conflict of interest? Its corruption pure and simple. I'd say the same of labour were in power. The fact that people don't give a fuck shows you what a nation of sheep we have become. I've literally just said that maybe it would be fairer if we made it so that politicians couldn't have second jobs, but right here and now, we don't have a spare 20 years or so to try to find some way of getting that changed we literally everyone in parliament would probably vote against it. We are working with what we have now not where we would like to be at some indeterminate point in the future. They can have a job as an 'advisor'but said company can only get a juicy gmnt contract after a rigorous and fair tendering process. Simple. Let's see how many of them are offered jobs as advisors then. So we are back again to the question of do you want the stuff we need now, or delay the supply for months while the tender process is completed you cannot have both. You are mixing up how you wish things were with how they actually are right now. Well for a start we shouldn't have a system in place which is so rife for corruption. You also seem to be implying that it was unavoidable that the companies who were awarded contracts without tender just so happened to have links to the conservative party. Some of these companies also apparently had very little background or experience in developing ppe. One company was awarded a contract who had no workforce. I get the whole "it's an emergency debate" but in fairly sure they could have put those bids out to tender with a much shorter consultation period I'm fairly sure in the guardian it said it took them 3 months to give the contact to pestix and then they backtracked over the amount given. The whole thing stinks but like I said in another thread.This is arguably the most corrupt gmnt we have ever had." Well, you're certainly taking the "arguably" part to heart. | |||

"Do not forget this joke of a government counted items for PPE as As mops, buckets, plastic bin bags, individual gloves not pairs, bars of soap, washing up liquid, nail brushes, hair nets, single shoe protectors, And the testing was not per one person - it was for the swap and the bag and the other swab - thus falsely tripling the numbers - LYING Thus They came up with 3 tests when it was one - FACT CORRUPT as fuck OK let get something straight here. Have you ever bought or worn medical gloves? I'm guessing the answer is no. They are sold and packaged as a quantity usual 100. 100 gloves not pairs of gloves. They are not LH & RH because the glove itself fits on both. So a box of 100 gloves is 100 pieces of PPE. Were they not counting the items as double? And surely you are not going to use 1 glove are you? In a lab environment, there are many situations where you use only 1 glove. I have personally done it hundreds of times in my working career. Care homes and hospitals are not lab environments... Are you telling me that hospitals don't have labs in them and other facilities that need PPE just as much as those on the patient wards? I am simply pointing out that not all PPE requirements are the same, it depends what roll you are fulfilling. Point is, it wasn't scientists in labs dying from the virus, it was care workers and nurses. Come on, you know this stuff.. Point is doctors and nurses were never told they could only have 1 glove. PPE gloves are sold in boxes that literally say 100 pieces on them and have been for decades. There are many occasions where 1 glove is sufficient and indeed, all that is used through choice. Isnt the whole argument that they were getting counted individually? There is no argument, a box of 100 gloves IS 100 pieces of PPE, the fact you don't like that answer is irrelevant, they are, and have need for decades, 100 pieces in a box. They are not always worn as pairs, this is not a secret or surprise to those that need to use them on a daily basis. Thats how the NHS procurement system works. You order 100 gloves, the computer system lists it as 100 gloves and supplies 100 gloves. It does not supply 50 pairs. After the panorama programme aired a gmnt spokesman said they had been miscounting the items of ppe..and they should have been counted as pairs..not individually. Maybe this was another one of those times the government said something wrong as you are so fond of pointing out. I am currently looking at a box of latex gloves and a box of nitrile ones, one says quantity 100, the other says 100 gloves. Neither mention pair or pairs anywhere on the packaging." I don't work in the NHS so in basically a lot of my opinions of what I've heard/,read. On the panorama programme 1 dr was complaining that the amount of ppe was inaccurate. So either he is talking shite or the gmnt are not being completely honest. Take your pick. | |||

"So is the complaint that the contracts were not put out to tender in the normal way or that some of the companies chosen had Tory links? Who here would have gone down the normal tender route? Would you exclude companies that had links to Tory politicians?" Is it beyond the realms of possibility to have a tender with a shorter consultation period? Surely it must make you wonder why would a company employ a tory mp who has no particular experience their field as an 'advisor' Serous question.Why do you think they do that? | |||

"So is the complaint that the contracts were not put out to tender in the normal way or that some of the companies chosen had Tory links? Who here would have gone down the normal tender route? Would you exclude companies that had links to Tory politicians?" Problem is that there are a lot of contracts that have ended up being granted to Cummings’ pals. I guess if this one was the only, you could give them the benefit of the doubt but there are another 5 or 6 similar cases. | |||

"So is the complaint that the contracts were not put out to tender in the normal way or that some of the companies chosen had Tory links? Who here would have gone down the normal tender route? Would you exclude companies that had links to Tory politicians? Problem is that there are a lot of contracts that have ended up being granted to Cummings’ pals. I guess if this one was the only, you could give them the benefit of the doubt but there are another 5 or 6 similar cases. Didn't 1 of them spend the money on doing research to Brexit?" Yep. Not sure if it’s online but it was in the paper edition of the Guardian yesterday. | |||

"Do not forget this joke of a government counted items for PPE as As mops, buckets, plastic bin bags, individual gloves not pairs, bars of soap, washing up liquid, nail brushes, hair nets, single shoe protectors, And the testing was not per one person - it was for the swap and the bag and the other swab - thus falsely tripling the numbers - LYING Thus They came up with 3 tests when it was one - FACT CORRUPT as fuck OK let get something straight here. Have you ever bought or worn medical gloves? I'm guessing the answer is no. They are sold and packaged as a quantity usual 100. 100 gloves not pairs of gloves. They are not LH & RH because the glove itself fits on both. So a box of 100 gloves is 100 pieces of PPE. Were they not counting the items as double? And surely you are not going to use 1 glove are you? In a lab environment, there are many situations where you use only 1 glove. I have personally done it hundreds of times in my working career. Care homes and hospitals are not lab environments... Are you telling me that hospitals don't have labs in them and other facilities that need PPE just as much as those on the patient wards? I am simply pointing out that not all PPE requirements are the same, it depends what roll you are fulfilling. Point is, it wasn't scientists in labs dying from the virus, it was care workers and nurses. Come on, you know this stuff.. Point is doctors and nurses were never told they could only have 1 glove. PPE gloves are sold in boxes that literally say 100 pieces on them and have been for decades. There are many occasions where 1 glove is sufficient and indeed, all that is used through choice. Isnt the whole argument that they were getting counted individually? There is no argument, a box of 100 gloves IS 100 pieces of PPE, the fact you don't like that answer is irrelevant, they are, and have need for decades, 100 pieces in a box. They are not always worn as pairs, this is not a secret or surprise to those that need to use them on a daily basis. Thats how the NHS procurement system works. You order 100 gloves, the computer system lists it as 100 gloves and supplies 100 gloves. It does not supply 50 pairs. After the panorama programme aired a gmnt spokesman said they had been miscounting the items of ppe..and they should have been counted as pairs..not individually. Maybe this was another one of those times the government said something wrong as you are so fond of pointing out. I am currently looking at a box of latex gloves and a box of nitrile ones, one says quantity 100, the other says 100 gloves. Neither mention pair or pairs anywhere on the packaging. I don't work in the NHS so in basically a lot of my opinions of what I've heard/,read. On the panorama programme 1 dr was complaining that the amount of ppe was inaccurate. So either he is talking shite or the gmnt are not being completely honest. Take your pick. If he or the government are calling a box of 100 gloves anything other than 100 gloves they are talking shit. It is as simple as that. Was that the program that only used Labour supporting people? Yes I believe before they interviewed everyone they asked who They voted for? Presumably if you clapped for the nurses...you only applauded the ones who voted tory? https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2020/04/29/bbc-defends-panorama-show-used-labour-activists-criticise-lack/amp/ Care to explain what difference that makes? Is their opinion invalid because they vote labour? Also the NHS is very strict on staff speaking to the press.One of the nurses who spoke was a union reo and said she only went on camera as she knew they couldn't come after hher.

"Testing should have been put in place in the NHS systems - used medics that are not on the front line TEST & TRACE - like south Korea did & Greece - virus squashed !!! NHS LABS NHS GP's to help with the tests & Pharmacies to follow up also. INSTEAD WE GOT a horse shit new plan from DOM CUMMINGS, not use any of our NHS infrastructure I cant believe that we can not call our GP's for test to see if we have covid ! Are you not embarrassed you are lead by this man - DOM ? Boris you are a joke " NHS labs are being used, private labs were brought in to expand the testing capacity way beyond what could be provided by the NHS without waiting months at a minimum. And when testing, what is better, you send large numbers of people with a contagious brand new disease to a specific site for just that specific test, or you send them all to GPs with small surgeries and facilities which also have significant numbers of people coming through with other illnesses that potentially make them far more vulnerable to Covid? Wherever you are getting your information from, I strongly suggest you find something more reliable. | |||

"So is the complaint that the contracts were not put out to tender in the normal way or that some of the companies chosen had Tory links? Who here would have gone down the normal tender route? Would you exclude companies that had links to Tory politicians? Is it beyond the realms of possibility to have a tender with a shorter consultation period? Surely it must make you wonder why would a company employ a tory mp who has no particular experience their field as an 'advisor' Serous question.Why do you think they do that?" So you prefer the out to tender route hopefully shorter process. How long should it be? Do they exclude any company with Tory links regardless? | |||
