Maybe the budget got pulled, or the project has some other dependency that means it won't start for another month.

Sometimes for their own reasons the decision maker wants to hold off.
I interviewed someone for a role 5 weeks ago and I told him I'd make final decisions when I got back from holiday. I've already decided to give him the job, but I went off on vacation and having to do all of the paperwork / HR bollocks so he could onboard when I was away was frankly a pain in the arse. So I held off.
Suppose I'd better do it this week.

Depends how desperate you are. They obviously think it's worth interviewing you again and from their point of view they are using their valuable time doing the interview. The complete shambles can often be the easy gigs, never get around to defining your role so you're safe from IR35, go off and do something you are interested in on their time while you wait for them to get their act together.
On the other hand, if you aren't desperate tell them they only get one chance at an interview so make an offer or lose out.

Do you not think they are taking the piss? Seem like a disorganised shambles? Would treat me like a permie anyway?
Are they taking this piss? Only if they try to use interview to get information from you. Did you get that feeling 1st time?
Disorganised? Carry on invoicing

I can see what's going to happen here if you get it. A month into the gig, you will get terminated. You long winded post will talk of the shambles and how you were telling everyone there what a shambles the place is, and trying to install IS09001 into everything etc etc etc.

1. Is the money OK?
2. Have you anything else to do on Tuesday that can't be reorganised?
3. Go back and tell them you can do it between 11.30 and 1.30 (or something like that, make it a time to suit you so you're not driving at rush hour, etc)
4. Ask the agent if they gave any feedback/information that will help with this interview. (is it an agent you know well?)

The question however is, how desperate are you? Only you know the answer.

To be honest, I agree with Alias. I guess they have you down as their number two.
That said, I agree Skype is the way to go for the next interview. Keep looking in the mean time and take the gig if they are successful in finding their heads deeply fossilized up the CTOs arse.

Its tough being a contractor. Trying to avoid getting personally involved and just thinking of the money.
On the other hand permie is far worse. You feel personally involved. The money seems poor. And you get the feeling you will be there for an eternity.
