Bring back Manpower Services? Dear God, never again!
Getting back to Mr Hostie's points, on point 2 the only way we (in EH) managed to get a substantial pay hike for our site staff a couple of years ago was to go through a thorough revision of our site staff job descriptions, analysing the skills required for each post using the National Occupational Standards. These job descriptions were then compared against other EH professional posts using JEGS, and that resulted in an upgrading of the posts. This sort of approach might be useful for others tied to Local Authority or similar payscales, but it won't stop them being undercut by cowboys...

Resistance is futile. Your project documentation will be MoRPHE-compliant.
