Re: Tagging firms in overcharging investigation

Disgraced firm Serco has agreed to repay the Government £68.5m for overcharging for tagging criminals, the Justice Secretary said.
Quote:
The Government has already rejected a £24m offer from G4S, which came under fire for its poor handling of the Olympics security contract, and officials vowed to "pursue all possible avenues" to recoup more taxpayers' cash.
Quote:
As revealed by Sky News City Editor Mark Kleinman on Wednesday, both G4S and Serco have also been banned from bidding for lucrative Whitehall contracts following a cross-Government probe

Does this mean that government oversight of these outsourced service contracts has or will be improved in the future
