anyone who doesn't vote Labour

where did you find out it was a standard joke, I cant find any reference. I'm reading lots of History and keen to find out stuff like this.

Put up an out of office reply with something like I will be out of office until (insert date) your message has already been deleted can you re send on (insert date) if it is important, thanks

the bigger problem for me was when Benteke went down and stayed down, why wasn't Libor told to warm up

Notts County fans love our Jack taken from their match thread re: Team & Match Thread: Grealish (?)... Best player ive seen in a Notts shirt in years re: Team & Match Thread: Boucard MOTM? ... never... Grealish by a country mile! Zero coincidence that we started well Tuesday night, played well and won today.

however this got brought up I don't know or care. But the point about global population is massive and needs to be discussed.

could be a new business to tender for. Sneaky Bastards.co.uk We don't care what your politics are we can stitch up anyone Complete discretion assured

blummin eck, I've been waitng here 18 months for you to reply to that, but I get your point and it is valid

They are as Fixed price as the PFI contracts. where the variables like cleaning and catering are dependent on volume

Thats at its very basic level but yes. More likely the tender process will be that that's our current throughput in this region, (or you could say drunks )this is our historical volume (or drunks) this is our projected volume (or drunks) allow for a 10% increase at peak periods allow for a 5% swing either way in these figures. Any increase of this swing above this 5% we will pay for equipment costs at £x rate per day and labour costs at £x per hour. Any of the increases will be balanced and paid quarterly

Again a false comparison. The spec will have covered the size, layout and very detailed description of the exact facilities to be provided. It's not "give us a fixed price for providing facilities for however many people fall ill in the next 30 years". Why is it false, I'm sure a spec will cover the size, layout and a detailed description exact facilities to be provided. Not a give us a fixed price for providing facilities for however many people get drunk in the next 30 years

The service would not be "Running Drunk Tank x located at y with a capacity of 15 inmates". That would assume telling the police they had reached their quota of arrests for the night. It would be "Receiving and monitoring people arrested by the police for being drunk". At least I assume so, from the scant information provided. Like when you tender for a care contract, it's not "Care for everyone assessed as needing care in the coming year", but "Care for the following 63 people in area x". Tesco's distribution is fixed on the basis of known delivery points, known goods, and known quantities. They don't ask firms to give them a price including deliveries of whatever goods they may decide to start stocking in outlets they have still to disclose. Yes they do. Unless you think they publish to all who tender all the new stores they are going to open and all the new lines they will stock, bearing in mind a distribution centre will last for decades. And as for known quantities, well there there was a 4% swing over the last 3 years

well were the PFI hospital contracts on a fixed price or a per capita base, after all why would the government pick up the cost

I do think it would be a fixed price contract. Quite clearly the facilities would have a finite size. So why would it be on a per capita basis. There are loads of companies which work on a fixed price contract. Tesco contracts out its distribution on a fixed price. I'm certain they don't over pay

So what you are suggesting is, based on a fixed price contract, that the company, would have the incentive to bribe the police so they could pay more money to the government

why. It depends on the contract. If its a fixed price contract which seems more likely, there is no incentive.

why will these proposals create incentive. You are assuming that it will be a price per unit contract, If its a fixed price contract that can't occur. Why is accountability reduced by giving public functions to the private sector?

So what your saying is, its OK for these corrupt policemen to look after the drunks but not the private sector

nor me to be honest

So is speeding but they let machines do that now

Why so. The chap who seems to be promoting it said Nor should the taxpayer have to pick up the bill for people's drunkenness, he said. "Why don't we take them to a drunk cell owned by a commercial company and get the commercial company to look after them during the night until they are sober? "When that is over, we will issue them with a fixed penalty and the company will be able to charge them for their care, which would be at quite significant cost and that might be a significant deterrent." Maybe its not me who is confused

No. Not at all. In my field we tender for work. In some cases they pay by the unit. In most cases they pay for the service at a fixed cost.

No Why? If the contract is for the service.

no I guess they don' t run for free, but I would imagine their Guests contribute significantly to the costs

Ok I read it again, I still cant see it
