they seem to have had a string of failures in both project management and auditing:
Deloitte fails to deliver government IT project, loses contract

Massachusetts grills Deloitte over large IT failures
Hearings over Deloitte's role in major IT disasters offer a fascinating glimpse inside the big money world of politics and technology.

I'm sure Deloitte weren't chosen because they are a major donor to the Tory party
The usual reason for software projects going awol is the customer not specifying what they want correctly or incompletely. Companies bid for the work on that basis and changes make timescales run over and costs go up. It's typical or seems to be of any project the government is involved in.
In this case it sounds like Deloitte were being used to project manage. That means identifying the requirements and arranging for them to be done.
Doesn't sound like they are any good at it and Gov's can't project manage themselves. Seems our armed forces did all of this on their own but by using established techniques / procedures where they are now involved.

I bet June 30th cant come soon enough for you to really leave all this Toryism behind and move to pasture new eh? It was June 30th at the latest for you to get settled status in your partners country, wasn’t it?
Ah, here comes the chief 'needler' again...
Nothing to add yet again I see.
Best you go and play/fight with the dogs in your household for that bone you just can't seem to let go of
tedious picking
.
You think? I think there is no other country or deadline for settled status. Time, and failure to respond, will tell.Its eating you alive that Ellal wont tell you which country or when

The mistake is asking the customer what he wants.
large, ramshackle organisations with numerous influencers are incapable of agreeing what they want. Government-directed ones appear to be the worst.
Consultancy co's know how to play the government like a mandolin, for their own profit.

speaking of government projects, they keep saying they'll be doing 100,000 tests a day by the end of April (that's next Thursday). That's "doing" tests.
I understand they haven't yet managed 20,000 a day.
The new online booking system closed down after handling 16,000 applications yesterday.

Everything's fine.
Grant Shapps, transport secretary, said at the daily Downing Street press briefing “It looks like the trajectory to 100,000 tests by the end of April is going to be met in terms of capacity”
