Issues with Public Procurement
10:00 am
Mr. Robert Watt:
We are happy to collate where we receive strong representations but there are sectors which are being affected by other technological changes as well as impacting on lower spend, which is independent from procurement, and also changes in procurement. There are many other factors going on here which I am sure are impacting upon what is happening in particular sectors.
