Ahh councils - ive worked in a few of them and they buy from whatever supplier they have picked - regardless with the fact that its normall 10x higher than everybody else in the world. To give a example - one council i worked in were happy to pay £110K for a wiring job - i came in to take over the project and once i had shopped around and compared quotes etc i reduced this bill down to £50k. Same goes for the line they were going to buy in from BT - they were very close to buying a 2mbit Leased line from BT - when i checked around and Telewest were prepared to offer a 45mbit line for £145 (yup thats right) a month + Vat like....
