Ms Patricia Callan:

The big improvements were that it reduced the turnover threshold, insurance threshold and details around finances to make them more sensible and workable. The big thing is that in terms of things like breaking into lots, the circular is very fuzzy. The language almost encourages procurers not to do it rather than to do it. It recommends feedback but does not say it has to be given. It tinkered around the edges. Certainly, we welcome the turnover and insurance changes, which have been significant of themselves. Certainly, it is something we welcome.
