I refer to the reply to Question No. 4 of 9 December 2004. As indicated in that reply, my Department invited 16 firms to tender for a public relations contract for the national spatial strategy. In response, five tenders were received for the initial nine-month contract. As is the normal practice, information on the amounts tendered by the unsuccessful firms is not being made available since this information is deemed to be commercially sensitive. The successful tender from Drury Communications was in the amount of €93,594.93. Details of the firms which submitted tenders are set out in the following table.
