Public Accounts Committee

Special Report No. 78 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Matters Arising out of Education Audits (Resumed)

12:40 pm

Dr. RuaidhrĂ­ Neavyn:

I apologise to the Deputy. We will try to discover whether there are any reasons as to why a particular company was specifically selected. What comes to mind is that rather than a full tender process, there might have been a quotes process, in which case the companies in question could have offered the preferred third or fifth quote. I am not aware of any personal relationships between any of the providers and any members of staff who would have engaged their services. That is all the insight I can give at this point in time.
