thanks for al the comments, but just to make a few points clear. Firstly i never said that the guy wasn't capable of doing the job.
Secondly, i have no interest in becoming a contractor, although i do know quite a few. Most of them are extremely good at it, working to a high standard and with lots of experience. I'm just asking the question as to whether they were given the opportunity to apply for this post in the fair and open manner we should expect from an orgnisation that puts itself forward as a leader in deer management. I may well go down the lines of an FOI in this case, if for no other reason than to ensure that we as tax payers are getting the best from our money. The last point i would like to make is that anyone out there who deals with contracts will know it's not always the best at the job who wins the contract but the one who can put together the best paperwork and give the answers the panel want to hear. Maybe therein lies an unfair advantage. if he is the best man for the job then good luck to him, i guesstime will tell.
