What part of the procurement process takes into account the delivery of the actual product when examining the tender? For instance, through the Road Safety Authority, drivers' CPC cards are issued from the UK but they never arrive on time. As a matter of fact, months may elapse between the application for a renewal and delivery. That impedes the driver in doing his work. He can actually be fined by both the Irish authorities and any other European authority. How is cognisance taken of that?
