Ms Anne Stewart:

I have not experienced that. When we complete tenders and award contracts we provide detailed feedback for those that are unsuccessful. It is in fact mandatory for us to do so under the directives. We provide really detailed feedback because we are very conscious we want more economic operators bidding. We want as many as possible to do so. We are happy to give that feedback and we often take time to guide those bidders through where they went wrong in their submission. We also try to steer them towards some of the companies that provide training on how to submit bids for public tenders because we are very conscious that it is a very complex process. Not only is it resource-intensive but it can also be costly depending on the type of tender. We are very conscious of that. We try to help the bidders as much as we can and to guide them so they can do better the next time.
