Mr. Kevin McCarthy:

There is a lower number of contracts in 2021, that is, 54 contracts rather than 151, but of a similar value, so it will be up around the €90 million mark again for 2021. The RFT that was published in January of this year was a complex request for tender and it took some time to get that in place. In the meantime, we continued to respond to the demand in 2021 as it presented, and there was a continuing requirement for emergency response. I point out that the 40/02 return for 2021 will also show a very significant level of non-compliant procurement for international protection.
