Mr. Mark Griffin:

There are times when the Department has consultants working for it that the approach is adopted that will provide best value for the Department notwithstanding the identified working arrangements that have been set out in the tender documentation. When we have people in and we are working through a complex project like this and we come across an issue, we can decide that it may work better for us at that stage if we re-engineer the approach, the working arrangement, between the Department and the consultant with a view to maximising to the greatest extent possible the value from what we will get from the tender competition.
