Mr. Paul Quinn:

To follow on from what the Secretary General said, we also engage very heavily with our client base because while there are approximately 8,000 public bodies out there, a relatively small number of them account for a large proportion of overall expenditure. We have engagement forums, as the Comptroller and Auditor General said in his opening statement, and we have a number of account managers who go out and engage with those larger public bodies on their public procurement plans to see how they are doing, what supports we can provide to them and how we can better support them in delivering their procurement responsibilities. In addition, we maintain a very large register of offerings on our website so if a public body needs audit services, tyres for vehicles or new ICT systems, for example, they can go to our website and get information on the supports they may need to ensure that they are living within the policies and legal responsibilities that are placed on them. In addition, our website contains lots of guidance, helpful information notes and lots of templates to support people in doing what they need to do in terms of public service obligations for public procurement.
