"gig that later went very pear-shaped indeed (although the client was to blame)"
I wonder how IBM got that previous contract?
"“The only finding possible is that IBM should not have been appointed” to the contract in the first place in part because of “ethical transgressions” on the part of some of its employees, including “the obligation not to use the State’s confidential [bid and proposal] information” that it had somehow couldn't explain came into its possession from a restricted government database along with the apparent privileged insider information from a government consultant to the project who happened to be a former-IBM employee."
Any former IBM employees involved with this new bid?
