Mr. John Barry:

As part of the procurement process, we would go through an extensive pre-qualification process and people can submit their applications or their expressions of interest. We vet them and once they pass that minimum test, then they go to tender. We do not discriminate against bodies. They pass the minimum test that we apply for pre-qualification and then they go to tender. We do not discriminate on the basis of what has happened in the past or previous submissions. We judge them on what they submit to us and if they make that test, then they go on to tender. That is how it works.
