Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In most tenders when you are tendering supply of materials or furniture, you have to specify a standard. It is a quality standard. REFF was referred to in the tender, but it did not give the REFF representation any special consideration. There were other manufacturers available, four that I know of personally, and there are more than that which make the same quality furniture that is acceptable on this tender. Those people who chose not to bid the same quality had their bid rejected. If I put out a tender for apples and they bid oranges, their bid will be rejected because it is as different as day and night. It is as simple as that. If you do not respond to tenders properly, your tender will not be accepted. Everybody had an equal playing field on this issue. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
