An official hand picking contractors out of good judgement is called "corruption", at least around the EU. The contract must be awarded the one who makes the best promises, if the controversial wording is excused. Public agencies may do work themselves, of course, but that tends to attract a more common type of criticism. I know nothing about this particular case however. It may very well be a royal fubar every step along the way. It was just interesting how some thought the government responsible even for private companies found breaking the law.
