I wish to ask the Minister of State about Vote 39 - Office of Government Procurement and the frameworks that have been put in place. The output target for 2017 is 52. In terms of SMEs getting access to these frameworks and public contracts, is the Minister of State satisfied that enough is being done on, for example, minimum turnover requirements and the need to have completed projects of a certain scale in the past so as to provide accessibility to SMEs? What is his assessment?
