Mr. John O'Brien:

On having a level playing pitch, it is a simple matter. At least, give us an opportunity to quote for the business. To take the example of the managed print services tender, the request for tender was a 48 page document which indicated that I need not reply because the pre-qualification criteria excluded me from the process. Successful tenderers were not asked to demonstrate the value that they could provide; they simply had to pre-qualify.
