With a longer-term expert subcontractor, TDF could then actually develop new capabilities rather than simply fix bugs and stand still like AOO. By adding to our list of approaches a managed but non-employee longer-term relationship with outside firms that is not limited to a single task, TDF would be able to both benefit from the flexibility of tendering and also gain the benefit of long-term staffing. It was an excellent idea to make the document editable, thanks Kendy, so I have added some words to this effect. Feel free to improve them! Cheers Simon -- *Simon Phipps* *TDF Trustee*
