Okay.
That said, the whole point is to shorten the procurement process, right? Otherwise, why have a supply arrangement if the department's clients must go through a lengthy procurement process? As we often hear, the process takes too long and acts as a barrier to the uptake of technology available on the market. We often hear this from public servants. They would like a certain technology, but it takes too long to obtain it.
Is the goal to shorten the procurement process, or just to simplify it?
