Very much so. I do know of some instances of this; in one case, the County Archaeologist is also the head of the commercial unit.
They generally try to favour their own units, make it more difficult for other units to win work, and insist that other units use specialists from within their own unit - even if there is another available who is, on an objective assessment, just as good.
These services really need to be entirely separate, and for that reason I favour the separation of all county units from the parent authority concerned.
