The difference is that IT consulting/layering/accounting is a long term relationship between the clients and the service providers. So the service providers have built in incentive to look out for the long term interest of their clients for repeat businesses.

A bike shop or bike-share outfit only has an one off relationship with the city. If the city doesn't buy from this bike-share outfit, the city won't buy anything from them anyway because they have nothing else to sell. This bike-share outfit interest lies in making this one and only sale to this city and nothing else.
