One of the contracts in a government group I used to work in was out for re-bid. No one expected anyone but the incumbent to win. When they didn't the new winner had no capability to actually put bodies in seats. They had to push the changeover date back 3 times while the new prime tried to convince all of the existing subs to come over. Their rate structure wasn't as good so they had lots of problems.
