Yes, Sir.
I'd just offer the observation that ACOBA is taking a much too narrow view of what should disqualify a retired general from taking up such a post. Even if he hadn't had a hand in the recruitment contract negotiation, there he is now, as a Capita employee, and still receiving the deference which is bound to be given (and expected) from colleagues remaining in the Army command structure. A retiring general or admiral or air vice-marshal doesn't suddenly become an average middle-aged executive because he (or she!) is suddenly out of uniform. I suspect that it is this "clout" and knowledge that makes the retiree attractive.
