The Minister Replied:
(1-3) The total cost of achieving the refinements and enhancements to the software identified as needed by the pilot process has been met as part of the standard contract payment. It is not possible to identify the portion of that payment attributable to the pilot process.
A small amount of additional work has been undertaken outside the scope of the contract. The Education Department has paid $9 750 for this specialised development. It is not known how much it has cost RM Australasia for the development work.
(4) $661 709.35
(5) $1 123 390.00
