Someone, somewhere is making a lot of money. Surely the govt must have assessed what the suppliers are giving away for @ £500.
Having dealt with suppliers on Government contracts before (although that was nothing to do with computing), this is, unfortunately, par for the course.

Contractors frequently take the proverbial with what they supply for what they charge.

It looks like this is not different.
