We spoke earlier about the metropolitan area networks, MANs, contracts and the options that were on the table to extend or retender. I think extend was the chosen option. What happens in this situation? Would there be a possibility at any point to renegotiate or retender the contract in terms of costs, given that there is only one bidder who would potentially have the State over a barrel in that respect? If that is the case, is there a risk to the State given that we have only one bidder in the race?
