(a) The contract consists of the Request, Addenda, General Conditions of Contract, Offers from the successful bidders and the contract award letters to the successful bidders. I table the Request, Addenda and General Conditions of Contract. In view of the commercially sensitive information in the Offers and award letters, it is preferable that these documents are not released to the Honourable Member. If the Honourable Member was to provide some clarity on the specific information sought, the Minister may be able to assist with relevant documents. If the offers and copies of the award letters are to be released to the Honourable Member approval may need to be sought from the two vendors prior to this occurring.
(b) Not applicable.
