Mr. Omodei asked about the cost of a contract under the Environment and Science portfolio. The Minister responded that due to the broad definition of 'contract', gathering the information would require unjustified staff resources, but offered to respond to specific queries.

(b) the cost of the contract?
The Minister for the Environment; Science has provided the following response: The State Supply Commission's draft ' Procurement Users Guide' states: "For many purchases the price for the goods or services is at a standard rate, eg taxi fares, publications. Payment for these simple purchases constitutes a contract. In other circumstances a letter, email, facsimile, purchase order, or use of a purchasing card will form a contract." Given this interpretation of contracts, the staff resources necessary to collect this information can not be currently justified. However, if the Member has a specific query I will endeavour to provide a response.
