Companies go to a lot of work and expense to bid on government contracts.
They’re obviously happy when they see the results posted and they are low bid. Then to find out that the government has substantially under budgeted for the contract that they have bid on, only to go back out to tender again for exactly the same product and service puts the people who bid on that contract originally in a very untenable situation. What would the Premier suggest to improve our procurement policy to prevent that from happening?
