Of the £1.7b in #coronavirus contracts granted by the govt without competitive tender, the £109m deal for PPE signed with PestFix, a pest control company in Littlehampton with assets of just £47,000, is most bizarre.

The @Times picked up this story today & asked the Dept of Health why they awarded a £100m to a tiny pest control firm.

Their response was to attack the questioner & not give an answer to the question.

This a disturbingly familiar pattern with this govt.
