Which is unlikely to change, the senior managers are the same people that will negotiate any deals with the private sector, as such, they will ensure that any agreement made with the private sector ensures their own continued employment. Even if it means them tranferring out of local authority emplyment. The problem with this is that the council will still be paying their wages in the form of whatever management fee they pay to the private company.

Yep, that's happening at the LA that I work for. There is a plan for all IT staff at district/borough level to be merged into one service, and that service to be converted into an ALMO.
