Our company does both in-house development and are consultants.
There are old blundering companies out there that actually don't have a clue where to start building a good dev team, or they do have a dev team but doesn't have the expertise for what they want to build. This is where consulting comes in, and hopefully they'll learn what a good dev team looks like. Although, big consultancies usually are just in it for the money and never really go about it the right way and ends up wasting client funds (and worse yet, client funds might be public funds...).
For the devs, consulting or contracting might be for them. In the UK it pays well and it's for you if you don't like the.. monotony of a single project for a long amount of time. You'll miss out on things like company benefits and the camaraderie that comes with being permanent staff.
