Most of the curators I have been involved in provide lists to developers or their agents with regard to who is available to undertake the work that they have asked for. Sometimes this is mistakenly passed on to the tenderer through a series of forwarded e-mails. Companies have had to jump through more than a few hoops for some curators just to get anywhere near the lists, and one county even does not allow or accept any work from anyone not on their 'list'. Illegal or not, that is what is done.
