Mr. John Swords:

Mr. Quinn is the chief procurement officer at the OGP and we work very closely with him in transferring and transitioning the common goods and services in the health service into the mix across the whole public sector. The objective is to drive better value for money and greater compliance across all contracts. Mr. Quinn’s office has a policy and procedure attached to it, to which we align, as we are expected to. We are obliged to put any of our plans before the OGP to agree them in advance and ensure we are all singing from the one hymn sheet.
