Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just to speak specifically of the RFP, it’s not only the value for money but there is an approved request for proposal indicators within the government system that Health and Social Services and the authorities follow. It’s outlined that they would receive certain points and values in certain areas such as northern employment, northern supplier, cost, management, experience of management, background, directly related business or expertise and so on. There are several categories that are rated. In this one here the two main contractors were weighed off against each other all the way down, and based on the RFP consideration, which also includes the business incentive policy considerations with you evaluate the overall RFP. Those are, generally, the considerations that are in an RFP. It’s not only cash.
