I thank the Minister of State. May I explore the matter further? Complaints I have received over the years have mostly been from small traders who wanted to tender for the provision of goods or services. Some found it very difficult. I could never understand how it could be difficult if the procedure was followed exactly. Will there be particular emphasis on the need to ensure everybody’s tender gets viewed and processed and is put into the draw?
