Posted: 05/05/2017 - 19:59
In its campaign against the UK's continued membership of the European Union, 'Vote Leave' claimed that EU procurement rules, which govern the purchase of goods and services by public sector bodies, cost UK taxpayers £1.6bn a year.

Brexit: a black swan with unexpected relevance for outsourcing contracts
Posted: 07/12/2016 - 20:08
Europe is in turmoil after Great Britain’s vote to leave the European Union. Those who now claim to know what will happen now – in outsourcing or in other areas – will make two big mistakes: First, they will show that they don’t understand what Brexit is.

Second, they will simply be wrong.
