I have some questions on procurement many of which, in fairness, Deputy Paschal Donohoe covered. I will give the example of arts supplies for schools. I understand the basic idea is to save as much as we can, but at what point in the process is a value for money report or analysis undertaken? One can tell schools one knows where they can get supplies much cheaper, but this may remove small and medium enterprises from the market and lead to job losses. Is a value for money report compiled and is this taken into consideration?
