Massively adversarial relationships are not so great.
Part of the issue is that I think it is difficult for the state, with an eye to transperency to award a contract to a firm on the basis of a good working relationship in previous dealing.
I recall dad telling me about the contracting strategy at a large oil firm he may have worked for – if we see you trying to do a good job and something goes wrong, we’ll see you right, if you take the piss or try and screw us over YOU WILL NEVER WORK IN OIL AND GAS AGAIN.
