Yes, that is exactly what would happen. We would have access to tender data and would be given the power to compel contracting authorities, including the OGP and others, to provide us with this data. We would then have access to large data sets and could use the computer programming-type tools we have at our disposal to analyse that data to detect suspicious patterns.
