I seek a better understanding of the tender process for designating a property like an hotel. I do not have a sightline on that. As a Deputy, it is very helpful to understand the tender process, whether a facility has been built into the tender process to ensure there are no bad actors or that they have been weeded out of the process, that due diligence is done on the process, and, given we are the children’s committee, that there is a robust interaction around child protection, for instance. Child protection is one of the issues in which we, as a committee, have a particular interest. On the tender process and expressions of interest, how is due diligence done to ensure no bad actors profiteer, to use that word? I am not using that word as a dog whistle. I want that to be very clear. I am trying to understand the process. The second issue is child protection because that is vital.
