Mr. Tom Costello:

Under EU procurement rules, once an award is made, which took place in February 2017, the competition ceases. One does not have the option of going back to a second or third bidder at that stage.

That is not what I am suggesting. I am suggesting that initially the board could have stopped the contract after phase 1 and gone back to the bidders again. The witnesses themselves said that. Is that not true?
