Ms Carol Boate:

The operator runs the tender process for that important role. I then have a role in approving that appointment. All key contractors, such as KPMG, the gaming system provider and the cleaners who clean the room where the machines are kept, are subject to approval with regard to their fitness and probity. I also must ensure there has been a proper tender process. We check that an appropriate tender process has been run for contracts of this nature.
