Peter McVerry Trust: Discussion
2:00 am
Ms Mary Hayes:
In terms of the tendering, there are lessons learned. We intend to reduce the reliance on ultimate cost as carrying the most weight. It is not the only criterion; we look at other criteria that are part of a tender as well. As part of the assessment process, we have a strong eye on the margins between the tenders. Fundraising can be used for added value but it cannot be used against the core service. In that sense, we will eliminate the risk of disproportionality between two tender bids.
