That is a great thing, but we are talking about how eTenders is saving the State money. In 2011, 6,120 contracts were advertised on the site and there was an estimated annual saving of €11.8 million due to the use of the site. That is calculated on the basis that each of those contracts would have been advertised in three newspapers. That is the saving we achieved. Would each of those contracts have been advertised in three newspapers? Do we do that for every single contract regardless of the amount?
