Does the Minister think we are granting tenders to bodies and companies that are purposely understating the price? They go in with a much lower price, knowing they can do so because there do not seem to be sufficient management structures, and then continually add to that figure. Are we not leaving ourselves open to a challenge? Others who have tendered at another price could come back and point out that their tender prices were much lower than the one the State has ended up paying. Would that not present a legal problem?
