To assist the committee, which oversees the OGP, can the office provide the committee with the top 20 procurement contracts or solutions by value that were not compliant so far this year? The office can anonymise whatever needs to be anonymised in terms of the services that were provided, who the service was provided to and who provided the service or whatever. The information will help the committee in its analysis. We want to know, for example, whether an entity went to its local laundry for sheets to be washed in the hospital, as opposed to through a centralised system and the rationale for doing so. The data will help us to understand why there is large number of non-compliant central procurement solutions in the health Vote. The data would help us to understand the value of them in the first instance and the type of contracts. I would appreciate if a note could be provided as to why they fell outside the accepted or agreed procurement framework.
