Just before we conclude, I have a question about the companies that are being contracted to provide services such as food, etc. I understand proper procurement processes must be applied, including e-tendering if the contract exceeds a certain figure, but there is room for social clauses and so on. Does the Department put an emphasis on engaging companies based in this country and paying tax here? From here on, could an emphasis be put on that?
