Work in progress

Could it be that Boris's team are actually still working out the best story as to what happened on the Downing Street refurbishment before the Prime Minister was forced to cough up ? 

Interserve (Facilities Management) have the over-arching contract to look after Cabinet Office properties. Every month, the Cabinet Office declares expenditure over £25,000 and payments on the Office credit card above £500; there's nothing obviously tagged "what Carrie wants".  But there have been some big numbers since Mr Johnson moving into Downing Street, with close to £1.6m going to Interverve for their part in the The Downing Street Modernisation Programme, which includes the Disco Downstairs Briefing Room, where Allegra Stratton was supposed to be at the Wheels of Steel and the Cummings Command and Control Centre.  

The Modernisation Programme has now moved on to technology, groovy software and associated consultancy fees, from Zendesk, Aiven, Apprilis, Logit, Trustmarque (part of Capita), Affinity Digital, XMA, FourNet, Firetext, Softwire and many, many more.  One hopes Cummings has left them details of how it's all supposed to work.
