Did you see the Fools and Horses when Mike was told by the brewery to get estimates for decorating the pub. He was about to pass on Paddy's quote for £2,00 until Del Boy explained to him that £6,000 would be better: " two thousand for vous, two thousand for me, and we give the job to the Irishman". Probably why they can't cancel HS2 - no refunds available!
"Core Services (Core): Core exposes the core services that stores [sic] subject (citizens) [apostrophe?] data and test data such as when and where a test was conducted. Providing [grammar?] this data to downstream systems to match test results for further distribution to GPs and PHE and subsequent Authority systems."
As usual, the people who write this guff are close to illiterate. But I know how to read a requirement through the project guff.
Could set you up the data structures for this on SQL Server in about 2 hours. Add in a DBA/sysadmin to handle load-balancing/backup, a security geek to manage that bit, and maybe a project manager to insulate the rest of us from the idiot client. Job done. Let's say £1000/day each (well _above_ my usual rate), 4 people. Maybe 2 months' work? Someone make that add up to a third of £30m, please, my maths doesn't extend to Transfinite Govt-Contract Calculus.
like the Y2K bug; a great opportunity to get snouts into as many troughs as possible; talk it up; scare everyone; "whoop, whoop, whoop" .... real scary; run, hide, the bogey man is coming
