Mr. David Moloney:

In general terms, one of the things we have with regard to Brexit is several agreements. There is the agreement between the EU and the UK, which agrees that there will be access to each other's markets in terms of public procurement so that companies from the EU can compete for public procurement in the UK and vice versa.

There is a changed situation. We have barriers to trade that were not there before, particularly logistical barriers, non-tariff barriers and the imposition of VAT in respect of trade. There are greater challenges in that regard but the OGP has been involved over recent years in trying to encourage businesses to prepare for those greater challenges. It has issued advice on that and engaged with its governance structures and with the small and medium enterprise advisory group. It is early days yet. In principle, we have equal access in terms of procurement but undoubtedly there will be challenges ahead.
