Shouldn't have to be run for profit,
tendered out to the lowest bidder where cutting corners could lead to bigger mistakes being made.

Perhaps, but not if there are guidelines in place.
I mean, the car I drive was made by someone who has made huge profits, but I don't hold it against them.
If the rules of government contracting call for lowest bidder, then perhaps the rules should be changed.

You want to see our train system
or our energy providers. Not a pretty picture...

Yeah, you can't really have a competitive rail network when you have a fixed number of rails (unlike the airline industry for example). You just end up of different companies running different parts of the network which isn't ideal. In fairness though, the network is actually better run now than it used to be and you could argue you'd still be running slam-door victorian trains if the government was doing it. And a lot of our energy is imported so that sucks.
