Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
This question is for Mr. Rath-Wilson, and it relates to the other gorilla in the room, to use the chairman's expression. That is the contradiction that we are hearing about between the effort to encourage openness to SMEs and, in the ISIT area, in particular yours, the ITSB, the recurring concerns about the bundling, about a predisposition to bundling that would in fact exclude SMEs. I will just comment on the wonderful-sounding concept of equal treatment, but when the predisposition in a department or the conditions of an RFP lead to having large contracts, that treats equally only those who are capable of fulfilling the requirements of such a large contract.
I understand you've had your consultations, and we will be seeing the results. But a repeated concern in all of this has been that we need to understand the business case for this. We want to understand, if there is going to be a predisposition, what the business case is for it. Can you speak to that?
Is there in fact a predisposition in your department for large contracts, for bundling? Is there a recognition that in doing that we will be excluding SMEs? Can you comment on that generally, please?
