I am simply asking if that is currently the position. If it is, then, as legislators, I, the Minister of State and you, Chairman, would be keen to change that system. I simply want to know whether that is currently the system. If a contractor has a reputation for consistently putting in low bids that end up costing the State significantly more, that cannot be a factor when an organisation is looking at a tendering process. Is that correct?
