Does anyone know if the following scenario allowed under U.K. law? My experience of working in the Public Sector is (thankfully) limited but I can't find anything online. NB it's not hypothetical, more investigatory.
Person works for Council as an employee, leaves, sets up a LtdCo as a consultancy (sole Director, no employees), Council (More likely, someone high up who's a good friend of Director) then secures the services of LtdCo on a one year contract at say £900/day. This get renewed every year with no invitation to tenders etc. LtdCo does no other work for any other customers.
Legit? Dodgy? Standard Practice? Any help appreciated!
