The Department will have those tenders shortly and will be able to assess them in the coming weeks. You might send the committee an update in a couple of weeks, without disclosing any commercially sensitive information in respect of the tenders, as to what are the options. We do not know what you put to tender. I ask the Secretary General, when it is appropriate and after the Department has closed its tenders, to send us an information note in respect of what it was seeking as part of this procurement process. I understand the Department will not be in a position to give us commercially sensitive information but people will want to know that there is something in place if some unforeseen event happened in the future.
