Public Procurement Contracts: Discussion

2:45 pm

Ms Mary Fallon:

That is very difficult when there is procurement and the tender is based 100% on price and goes to a company in Britain. This happened in the case of one of the tenders offered last Christmas. It went to a company in Britain, but it decided that it would not fill part of the tender. It went into the bin.
