Some people were deterred from giving expressions of interest, as they were required to have a proven record in the area. While many people would be interested in getting such a facility operational using Dunfirth as a model, they would not have a proven record in the area. Not having a proven record in the area should not debar applicants. It is more important that they show a commitment to do it, and learn from the Dunfirth example and improve on it if possible.
