You will be aware of the direct award contract that has been made to InnerDrive for teacher continuing professional development (CPD). Will the Minister outline the reason why it was felt that it was not worth going out to any other company to run a proper procurement process? It seems odd that only one company could be designated as being capable of providing CPD to our teachers in Northern Ireland.
