The National Development Finance Agency has been acting as financial adviser to my Department in relation to the Colocation Initiative. As part of this role, the Agency conducted a review of the evaluation of bidders process undertaken by the Health Service Executive (HSE). By letter dated 25th June 2007, the Agency informed my Department of its opinion that the potential preferred bidders identified by the HSE provide value for money relative to the public sector benchmark equivalent at the current stage of the procurement process. It also advised that the procurement process is in a position to proceed to the next stages of financial due diligence and ultimately financial close.
