Eligibility of Small Firms in Tendering for Capital Projects: Discussion with Office of Public Works

2:30 pm

Ms Clare McGrath:

All I can say is that eTenders is a public portal for suppliers to register. Under the provisions of the directive, I understand there is a move to electronic procurement in many other jurisdictions in Europe. Therefore, the same situation will apply to all jurisdiction. It will enable one to register within that jurisdiction as a supplier and then one is notified of opportunities.
