The PPPs are to deliver 1,500 units in three phases. The first phase of 500 units is at procurement at the moment. The first units are scheduled for delivery in late 2018. The second phase will move to procurement shortly. The site for the third phase will be identified by the end of the year. We have to be very careful with how we proceed with PPPs because we do not want to be exposed as we were in the past. That is why things might be taking a little longer.
