It’s not my idea of a good deal.

Inflation is over 5% and rising.

The award is about 2.6% and falling over the next three years.

If that’s the best multi-year deal in the public sector, I feel sorry for the rest of you.

How is it worth more than it was in July, when inflation was lower?

I think it raises more questions than answers
