You know Yes Minister was a documentary, right? ;)
Buying from PWC reflects badly on them with us, because we know tech. It does not reflect badly with other civil servants, because PWC is a highly-respected organisation.
It's very similar to "No-one got fired for buying from IBM", which was a cliche because it was true.

PwC are a well known band of crooks who always put their own enrichment well ahead of the public interest.
They were banned entirely from bidding for Australian federal government contracts, because they misused privileged information on tax policy they received from one client (the government) to advise other clients on tax avoidance strategies. It was a symptom of systemic corruption that permeates their entire business.
