Ms Oonagh McPhillips:
Regarding the first bundle of contracts the Deputy mentioned, 18 of those are being or have been progressed to contract placement since then. To some degree, we are reliant on and have a partnership with the Office of Government Procurement, OGP, and sometimes we have to roll over a contract while we are waiting for an OGP framework to come into place. Some of the larger contracts are routinely challenged now so there can be delays. Quite a significant number of them have been.
