If I advertise on that website for a training course in health and safety, say, is it not the case that any service user assessing that advertisement will know that the very fact it is on eTenders means the minimum the OPW or any other procurement agency is prepared to pay is €25,000? Why would any bidder bother submitting an offer of €18,000, for instance, when it is clear the budget is at least €25,000? Is that not potentially costing the State money?
