G4S were the old contractors, Reliance replaced them in 2010.

It makes services accountable to the people they serve. If the Home Office was directly delivering this service and their staff were aggressive, you can't just sack the Home Office. However, as a contractor, Reliance can be relieved of their contract, or fined, if they don't do their job properly.
Unfortunately some people dislike this accountability because envy means they can't get past the fact that someone somewhere will make a little money if they do a good job.
