Description

Minister repeats bold claims despite absence of an audit trail: nothing untoward in the Department’s approach and decision-making ... absolutely no evidence to suggest that the Department or Central Procurement Directorate in DFP sought to manipulate the outcome of this tender ... no manifest error in the award of the contract to the new service provider ... no substance to the allegations that DRD officials undermined, harassed or bullied complainants ... This was a complex and delicate investigation the total cost of which is estimated to be £55,000.
