Mr. Noel Waters:

We believe, as I said in my report, that this equates to the negotiated procedure. We want, if it is feasible, to be able to get to a more open tender situation as quickly as possible. We want to do that but as I indicated earlier, the irony is that when we did that in respect of the State sector, it ended up actually costing more than in the commercial sector. However, that is no reason, as far as we are concerned, not to put this out to the market. We are engaged with the Office of Government Procurement to try to get that done. It is very difficult because it is not a question of just procuring accommodation, but also of procuring services in local communities all over the country and trying to establish a marking system that will take that into account and not favour one group of people over another. It is a serious difficulty.
