Mr. Paul Quinn:

This is analogous to what the Secretary General mentioned. Accounting Officers are accountable for their spend, the contracts they award and the performance of same. As regards goods and services, that responsibility will transfer to my office and me during the course of this year. Currently, each public sector entity is charged with responsibility for ensuring value for money and that contracts perform. Those entities investigate abnormally low tenders, as their feet are being held to the fire in terms of accountability if a contract is awarded and does not perform.
