It has established contact and is following up on that to be reassured that this is not a feature of the culture or practice.

Of course, in terms of the €24 billion, the contracting authorities are mostly outside the OGP. It is mostly the sectoral contracting authorities that would be involved in actually doing the tenders.

Mr. David Moloney: The OGP tries to keep an eye on that. Obviously, the decision to use particular criteria is a matter for the contractor, for those issuing the tender, but the OGP has set out in the circular the ways of going that is encouraging that.
