When Procurement goes BAD........Fremantle Care Workers take a coach trip to Catalyst Housing

For most of this campaign we have focused on Fremantle Trust. However they have a partner Catalyst Housing Group (formerly known as Ealing & Family Housing). Catalyst secured the contract with Barnet Council to reprovide residential and day care services. They sub contract the care contract to Fremantle.

It has now come to light that Catalyst are demanding Barnet Council pay £8.672 million! Yes you read correctly..........................

Today we went to Catalyst Housing to deliver a letter to their Chair Dame Mavis McDonald

Dame Mavis was not there but Catalyst Housing sent down Phil Shemmings (Head of Communications and Public Relations to receive our letter on her behalf.

We will let you know when she replies.

More later.....................................
