Mr. Robert Watt:
The background is that the Office of Government Procurement provides a contract framework which allows several bodies, including many of the education and training boards, to access expertise, rather than individually having to procure such services. Without knowing the details, I presume that if one is procuring a trainer to provide a particular course or module, experience and previous references, including about capacity and so on, are investigated, and that the cost per day is considered.
