Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications

School Transport Scheme: Bus Éireann

Mr. Gerry Gannon:

We have a controlled opening procedure, for instance, at the PQQ stage and at the tender stage. The controlled opening procedure at PQQ stage is mirrored at tender stage and I will not repeat it. What happens is the PQQ or the tenders are received and they are held securely until after the closing date by which I mean they are locked away.
