In general when Uisce Éireann is dealing with tenders, is there what I do not want to describe as a "race to the bottom" on price? It is something I see when I deal with pricing at local authority level when dealing with tenders. Is Uisce Éireann instructed to go with the lowest price? How does it deal with balancing the lowest price, the medium price and delivery?
