Firm awarded £10m Test and Trace contract put staff out on furlough

A COMPANY which was awarded a £10m contract to run NHS Scotland’s contact tracing service furloughed some of their staff immediately after taking on the work.
Staff working on Test and Protect for NHS Scotland were furloughed when Go-Centric took over the contract in April, the Herald on Sunday can reveal.
The firm has claimed thousands from the UK Government for staff wages, beginning in the same month it was awarded the high-value contract from the NHS. Two companies linked to Go-Centric owner David Harper were previously stripped of public contracts in England and went bust, leaving millions in debt and many out of work.
