As I understand Mr. Watt is speaking in a vacuum, I am not particularising. I am looking specifically at procuring trainers to provide various courses in a situation where there is a framework in place. I am being told that it is costing much more and that people on the ground with experience have seen costs go up by 100% in some cases as a result of the new framework. There is less competition and fewer courses, but prices have gone up. How does the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform assess value for money when such a framework is introduced and people on the ground are saying it is now much more expensive.
