National Broadband Plan: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Ciarán Ó hÓbáin:
It is important that it be understood granting preferred bidder status is a critical milestone in a procurement process where one recognises a party has met the tests where one has asked the market to bid and that party is capable of delivering.
It is capable of delivering it. That is the first point. Second, it is my intention to move forward and bring it to a contract. That is the purpose of the declaration. We want that party to engage in the next step of the process and procurement to engage subcontractors.
