I cannot now but centralising the procurement function in government is a relatively new enterprise undertaken by the last Government. It is doing incredible work in finding value for money, making sure we are not just chasing the bottom line when we procure but that we take into account other factors in procurement contracts and in rolling out pilot projects under social clauses. As the Senator is probably aware, the OGP and I are making a public presentation for Senators and Deputies tomorrow to go through and discuss several issues. If we can give a firm commitment on a date tomorrow we will do that then.
