The risk with that approach is what happens if they used their last piece of luck staying out of the bin.

Or if you're the unlucky one and you've just dumped the best CVs

Or the fact that the lucky ones were the ones he dumped in the bin?

LOL. Been a couple of times I wish that had been my CV!

£400 is a fair rate for where it is and the type of person required.

Whilst Access and Excel are the only technical skills, pro-active problem solving, organisation skills and common sense are key. I've interviewed people for this role before about 6 months ago and the agencies couldn't come up with anyone.

Just clearing it all with client co at the mo.

Rough chance of someone (doing pretty well in the remaining two months) getting extended???

Absolutely (or at least there would have been)..........but there's a problem...a big problem actually.

They've decided they'd like to outsource it to IBM and plan to get someone in within a fortnight for me to handover to.

Apologies to those who contacted me, I genuinely thought they'd continue to staff it with a contractor or two. Outsourcing to IBM is a terrible idea but the decision has been made to pay 50% more for half the service and now I need to smile and invoice.

Well that's a shame. Agree RE service vs cost ratio, and that's on a good day for IBM!
