I have worked alongside a team from a consultancy and there were some in the team I'd genuinely rate. It was a new product/business change type programme though not IT.
Problem was the assignment bod was never sure who he could get - he knew who he wanted and managed to secure them most of the time, but when he couldn't you'd get any old (or newbie) pair of hands warming a seat.
Still not sure the value proposition is that great thoughComment

The bigger problem is that the more talented consultants are there to sell more days as a priority over getting the job done.The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't existComment

You are allowed other clients. This client also had bums on seats contractors but was getting IR35 twitchy and did not want to imply MOO.
Surely that could never fail IR35 or be subject to the 1 month then payroll rule?
It would also work well for a lot of clients.
I don't believe the rules could apply to fixed price work of this nature.The Chunt of Chunts.Comment
