Written Answers. - Tendering Process.
The process of installing dust extraction systems and the associated process of upgrading machinery in construction studies rooms in secondary schools is the responsibility of the school's managerial authorities. While managerial authorities are guided by the professional advice available to them from their consultants, it would be expected that the most competitive tender that meets the specifications and that can be delivered within the timeframe specified in the tender documents would be selected.
