As was noted on the previous thread CamArc had a few options before them and chose to go with Oxford. Being a county unit is not always that enviable because of the county county structure and its contstraints seem to be at odds with running anything in a commercially viable fashion and yet asks that units compete with companies who have full self-determination. Not to mention getting a quote for anything down to portaloos since the common perception is that county councils have endless pockets. I have yet to come across one where this is true for archaeology. CamArc did alot to restructure itself in recent years but I always got the feeling from my sources that the county itself was what was holding it back.
