It seems that every couple of years the government comes out with another of these large initiatives.
CABiNET came together as an entity in the early nineties because of the procurement model back then, which was called “common purpose” procurement. It was basically lining up a business partner, for each department, that could be no other than a large integrator just because of the nature of the project references you would need. So once the large integrator basically has the contract for that department, SMEs are not involved any more.
