That was when someone thought it was necessary (it wasnt) to retrofit a roller shutter to the van Dock on my new custody block. Ambulance no longer fits under. Lower Douglas was just a cluster from start to finish. Another edifice to incompetence. So who signed it off then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoTail Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Still no announcement about the new merchandise contractor. I heard it was 2 in the running. One was told last week that they have not got the contract. The remaining party has not been told they do have the contract. Curious!

You have the best bid but the contract is not signed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbnuts Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Final cross the ‘T’ and dot the ‘I’ s . People are not going to like it !! Another potential shit show sadly. Hoping to be wrong. As for any money they are going to recover from Cube . Not a chance if it’s right what I’ve heard. DoE once again have excelled . 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Non-Believer Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 (edited) Not a penny seen back yet, despite various promises to the contrary, reports IoMToday. £160,000 to Govt and £65,000 to local businesses outstanding. Growing with imposed penalties for non-payment. Edited January 2 by Non-Believer Extra bit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbnuts Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Both groups were supposed to be getting wound up any day. I’d heard it was by the end of the year 2023 . Someone on here am sure can check out if they have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Non-Believer Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 (edited) There now needs to be a full inquiry into precisely how and why Cube were appointed and who in Govt, if anybody, benefited from the appointment.

TheTeapot Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Amazing story that really. Absolute dickheads in charge, obsessed with 'monetizing' the event as much as possible, taking gambles on dodgy firms, pissing off the locals. Wonder what the kickback in the cube contract was? It is completely mad to me that the guy who tried to get the kickback written into the vision9 deal remains employed. The TT exists only with the support of the public. To see idiocy, greed and corruption repeated further erodes that support. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To see idiocy, greed and corruption repeated further erodes that support. I've likened it to the 'The Goose that laid the Golden Eggs' a few times before. Government are all over stuff like this. 'The tale has given rise to the idiom 'killing the goose that lays the golden eggs', which refers to the short-sighted destruction of a valuable resource, or to an unprofitable action motivated by greed.' 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbnuts Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 I told you all this was going to happen. Also the new firm awarded the contract was due to be announced by mid December at the latest. Once again the operation from a cost point of view is going to be compromised as it will be to late to source from China which will mean garments will once again be costly. Also Chinese New Year will make it a no go. They really are incompetent in DoE and add in the AG’s office it’s a total shitshow. Once again it’s the people who spend the money to get here getting rinsed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
