Unfortunately, this will have to go through one of their bench contract suppliers, cutting out the previous agency; and they had a relevant clause about working with outfits I'd met through that contract. But there was a possibility of something coming up before I finished, so I told my agent about it, and he got me written permission from his superiors negating that clause for this specific client. As for the consultancy: the department itself has determined that any restrictive clause at their end only applies to working with the same team, and this is a greenfield project with a completely new team.
As for the jail time, I've no doubt the shadowy figures whose job it is to confirm my SC is still valid will be looking into that
