Where does it say they outsourced their IT? The article mentions city hall outsourcing their IT to TfL, but city hall is sister organisation to TfL, they’re both organs of London regional government. The London Mayor is the chairman of TfL and the head of London regional government.

It’s not like they’re outsourcing to some private organisation, every single organisation is either a state organisation, or a state owned company.

I think they just read it backwards. Near the beginning in the bulleted list is:

>Sadiq Khan’s office and the Greater London Authority outsourced their IT services to TfL this summer, meaning they were also badly impacted, paralysing services at the top of the capital’s devolved government.

Which means TfL is the one doing other people's IT in addition to its own, not the reverse.
