The use cases for outsourcing to the private sector are few and far between. Only if the product or service is extremely difficult, complex, and one-off. Other than that, you save money in the long-run doing it in house, and long-run is MUCH more important for governments than companies.

Yes, but rarely for the people in charge of spending the money in the government or the people who were voted in to do so.
