UK government consultancy costs

Apparently the UK government pay "IT consultants from top global firms charge on average £1,400 per day for work on UK government contract assignments"

Finance consultants get £2000 a day. At the bottom of the pile, bog standard ICT support consultants get £750 a day.

"However, as the analysis points out, the variation in average rates could also come from the amount of senior resources needed for each project. Categories demanding more senior input would attract higher rates.

For a partner or director in a global IT consultancy, the average rate is £2,258 per day, the official figures show. Their equivalent in a 'second tier' IT consulting firm would cost £1,766. A similar comparison for the average day rate of a principal consultant is £1,532 and £1,149."

I'd be happy to fill in for those senior resources for, say, £2000 a day. That's an 11.4% saving. You can't say better than that.
