Mr. Brian Purcell:
The question was whether we would go to the next person, the unsuccessful bidder for the first contract. We were told we could not do so and that, if we were proceeding, we would have to go through a new process. Having reached that point, we did not have the money.
We could not tender because we no longer had the funding.
