Mr. Liam Woods:

In terms of the overall approach to procurement, in so far as possible, we are looking to aggregate the national level and use framework agreements which allow for national contracts and, where appropriate, regional or local contracts, but that really depends on what is being purchased.

With regard to security, I would have to come back to the Deputy with an update on the framework for that and what the approach is. Fundamentally, the Deputy asked if it is contracted locally or if it is negotiated at some higher level, but I will have to come back on that.
