Why Gama got the bypass job
For the record, it should be clarified that, despite your assertion to the contrary, the NRA did not advise Monaghan county council “to give Gama the lucrative contract”.
The council, as the contracting authority for the project, conducted extensive analysis of the tenders received and concluded - subject to NRA approval that was subsequently obtained - that the company had submitted the best value offer and so should be awarded the contract in accordance with the criteria published at the outset of the competition.
