Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

All of the terms for the competition, the conditions of employment, the definition of the role and so on would be set out by the employing agency. I would expect one would purely be getting services like advertising, providing venues, maybe secretarial assistance with the competition, experts and so on. They might also be involved in devising a strategy for approaching the market. If there was a particular problem in a specific sector, they could advise the entity in how best to approach the market.
