Seeing they talk about 100's of contractors, I'm assuming BAE systems?

BAE would suggest it's CSC, as they are the managed service provider.

Makes perfect sense if they are body-shopping BoS contractors to the MoD.

It's a bit of a short notice, but better that the inevitable bunch of body-shop "consultancies" that are still clueless and people working through them are going to be in an unholy mess in a month.

It's about business and contracts, this is a choice they've made not a legal requirement.

But fails to state which defence firm or which agency - I'm taking it as a rumour at the moment.

I suppose these are the tight of companies who are private, but are paid by the government so it's sort of quasi-public? A government who wants to restrict public sector money being spent on PSCs might look favourably on such companies doing this?

Shall we just say the MoD is a special case.

I suspect it is because they believe they will fall into the new rules anyway come April.

Also, it has to be noted the MOD were one of the PSBs that decided to implement the changes early.

Private sector outfit moves to ban PSC contractors over IR35 change :: Contractor UK

A defence firm has become the first private sector outfit to react to April’s off-payroll rules for the public sector by moving to ban workers who are limited companies.

The firm, which has contracts with the Ministry of Defence, told the “hundreds” of ‘Ltd’ workers it currently has on-site that they must soon switch to an umbrella company or quit, a source said.
