If the firm has not completed the work after two years, will there be another tendering process? The Minister of State spoke about an open book but I am more confused than ever. This tendering process was advertised and 11 expressions of interest were received. These were short-listed to three but were not deemed to be suitable, so it was re-advertised. There was much suspicion about the whole process, especially on the Government benches. Is the Minister of State categorically saying that the firm that won the contract was cheaper than the others? Will the firm turn out to be cheaper in the long term?
