I agree with the AG. In the department, we use both lowest-price-compliant and best-value-for-the-crown. But after discussions in the department and in view of the audit, our action plan clearly says that we need to look into this question.
What we need is a framework. I don't have a framework now. A framework would guide people so that when we decide to look at a major acquisition—off the shelf but with modifications—we would have a better sense of whether we should go lowest bid or best value. This is a good suggestion, and lessons learned are telling us the same thing.
