This morning’s Western Mail reveals that the Welsh Government are paying consultants £750,000 as part of a four year management contract to run a European aid programme.
London-based Navigant Consulting has been taken on to manage a £55m scheme known as Jessica, aimed at regenerating urban areas in the poorest parts of Wales.
Commenting the Welsh Liberal Democrat shadow Economy and Transport Minister, Jenny Randerson said:
“This represents a large expenditure on consultancy services and it’s disappointing that the Assembly Government has not developed this financial expertise in house.
“It’s therefore vital that this contract delivers good value-for-money and a transfer of skills and knowledge, such that future work can be delivered more quickly and cost effectively.”
