Possibly not. They did the integration work with the CMS (Percussion
Rhythmyx) but, as has been pointed out by comments on Dan's or Bruce's
site, it's possible to have a standards-compliant, accessible site
running on Rhythmyx. Thus it's the fault of the people who built the
templates, which seems to be Fresh01.
Sounds like a "jobs for the boys" type affair. Who'd take odds on
Fresh01 being comprised of relatives or mates of a civil servant at
the DTI?
When faced with Bruce Lawson's questions, The DTI fobbed him off with
the "that'll cost more than the limit for FOIA requests" (£600)
line...
