If my sons firm tendered for work close to home, his employer's rate would be much lower, with no subsistence for travel, food, accommodation etc.
So firms in Norfolk tender for jobs here and vice- versa, boosting their income as well as its employees, with tax relief on travel, food and accommodation, all adding to the pot.
Also sometimes, these are sub-contractors, that work for sub-contractors, that work for Network Rail, that itself is raking it off(ripping it off) the Taxpayer.
