Mr. Seamus McCarthy:
In general, the procurement process is time-consuming. It is expensive and there are many steps through which one must go. It may be a matter of convenience that a contract that is in place is rolled over for a transitional period. There could be things like a sole supplier where the institution is only able to identify one supplier of a particular product.
