Overspending on Contractors

The request is waiting for clarification. If you are Jason Lewis, please sign in to send a follow up message.

Dear Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency,

Can you explain why you hire 15 plus network engineers and manager contractors in your swansea office at a huge daily rate at the cost of regular taxpayers. The amount you are spending is ridiculous when you could hire double the amount of people at nearly 1/4 the cost, and they would be full time Employees? I have on good authority that the spend per contractor is over 8000 pounds a month! And half are not even qualified! I won't even start on the jobs for mates scenario! Seems very unfair to the young qualified engineers out there who want full time work.

Yours faithfully,

Jason Lewis
