Ms Geraldine Tallon:

Yes, quite a few plants in the programme are being procured by traditional procurement means. In respect of the contracts over the period from 2010 to 2012 for treatment plants, 27 water plants and 54 wastewater plants were completed by way of traditional contract. In respect of treatment plants completed by way of design, build and operate, DBO, contracts for the same period, there were 36 wastewater DBO contracts providing 65 wastewater treatment plants and there were three water schemes by way of DBO. There is, therefore, a balanced position based on the initial evaluation. As I stated, 54 wastewater plants were completed by way of traditional contract and 65 were completed by way of DBO contracts.
