The question
To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S3W-15433 by Stewart Stevenson on 3 September 2008, under what provisions the need for an open and transparent tendering process arises.
The answer
I referred in my answer to question S3W-15433 to the tendering of a subsidised ferry service in an open and transparent procurement process. A requirement for an open and transparent procurement process can arise as a result of the operation of general principles of European Union and domestic procurement law, the provisions of the European Union Maritime Cabotage Regulation, or European Union rules on state aid.
