It sounds like you are alright jack.

when consultancies lose multi million pound contracts they have to place their staff somewhere or they lay them off. Either way they will be looking at work they would not otherwise consider.

Hello! Contractor portal! Of course it's every man/woman/entity for themselves..

I never worry about permies being made redundant. Most of them are waiting for the next permie role to jump back into.

Maybe that's actually good news for UK contractors? They're unlikely to award this to Bob Shawaddywaddy Ltd are they?

Any amount of chopping and changing is good for independent contractors, apart from the most entrenched ones. Whoever replaces Raytheon will need to get some skills on board in a hurry.

"But the government, which has spent 188 million pounds on the contract to date, said it will seek alternative providers for the project."

Nothing to see here folks!

Nope.

And I don't imagine that their high-falutin' consultants will bother with down-and-dirty contracts that I go for.

Has anyone been hit by the Raytheon cancellation?

The cancellation of such large contract will hit some big consultancies. Their consultants will need work elsewhere, pushing out contractors. This may impact the industry and contracting.
