Dealing with government contracts, a lot of governments prefer to outsource some activities when the private market can provide these services. The idea is that it makes it easier to fire individual non-performers.
The real idea is that it shift liability for issues from the politicians to private companies who aren't beholden to anyone.
Not really. Politicians have a lot of control over those contacts and they are written to benefit the government.
Of course they do but reality shows us that they point the finger at the company and the media goes along with it. There always needs to be the facade of plausible deniability.
