Yes, I would say that's correct. I'm not so sure it's because of the work of OSME but it's more to do with some of the policies that have been building within the Department of Public Works in terms of taking small contracts and building them into larger contracts, making them more inaccessible to smaller companies. I agree with CABiNET that it's something that's not only happening in the technology sector, that has happened in other sectors of the economy as well. Fewer companies are able to bid because the contracts become so large.
