Nowadays you can do a Jobserve search on hourly rate alone. If you just tick "£100+"/hour, the top few are mostly SAP and Murex.
P.S. SAP's more of a gravy train because the projects last longer, and it's easier.
Typical SAP customer: "We'd like a field adding to this form. Is 6 months long enough?"
Typical Murex customer: "We'd like to start trading in pork belly CFDs and forex swaps, and start spread betting on the women's beach volleyball. Please have it set up by lunchtime"
P.P.S. that Jobserve search isn't very currency-specific. But then again you don't specify 950 of what.Comment

.....
The best rates are always available to the person who has a personal relationship with the senior client with the money. If you have that, then the skills bit of the equation is a lot less relevant.
If you're going through an agent, then its a lot more tricky, but generally senior programme managers/directors in the public sector are pulling down between 900-1200/day round where I am.
sadly, that ain't me.Comment

Obviously, the purpose of a public sector programme is, respectively, to:
- offer a minister the chance to announce "a transformation in public services"
- offer senior civil servants the opportunity to line up a lucrative directorship or two for when they retire
- offer middle-ranking civil servants the opportunity to become senior civil servants
- stabilise the economy by giving the government a reason to inject large quantities of money into the industry of its choice.
