I have often heard businesses complain to me that we have placed too much emphasis on price and not enough on the quality of the service delivered. The Chairman has made the point that we do not place enough emphasis on price. We must strike a balance. Depending on what we are contracting for, the quality will have more of an impact than the price. With utilities one goes for price and the lowest cost of securing the utility.
