I propose to take Questions Nos. 73 and 105 together.
The procurement process to appoint a bidder for the State intervention network is now at the final stage. My priority is to bring the procurement process to a fair and impartial conclusion as quickly as possible. My Department will conclude its assessment of the final tender submission received from the bidder on 18 September 2018 and I will bring a recommendation to Government in the coming weeks.
I do not propose to speculate on the outcome of the ongoing assessment, which I would ask be given the necessary time to conclude.
