Socialists angered after PwC handed public contract to run Scotland’s national care service
A PricewaterhouseCoopers sign
SOCIALISTS and trade unionists were left fuming today after a multinational accounting firm was awarded a public contract to run Scotland’s national care service.
It was announced this week that the Scottish government had awarded an initial contract for the new service to PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC).
The £100,000 contract is for “mobilisation of the national care service,” including a “high-level roadmap towards delivery of design,” according to a contract award notice.
