Mr. Brian Geaney:

It is not a process we have utilised to date. It would hold some risk for local authorities if a project went wrong or if the costs increased during the procurement process. The competitive dialogue process we are using is a two-stage process and we are using that very successfully. We are engaging with the market and partnering with contractors through the Part 8 system, getting developments approved through our own council and then going to site once the project cost has not changed. We are able to look at the four-stage process but we have accommodated that down to a two-stage process with the Department and the Department has approved that.
