Then, of course, when actual procurement happens, agencies can choose from anyone on the framework. So they can do their own filter for the skills they need.

Geek smarts applied to the market for geek services. I agree; it feels quite a harsh process, but fair. +1 to your “as a citizen” observation.

Is there a quality dimension, or is it simply standard pricing for services labelled as being at a certain level?
