Mr. Selfe says the contract for the out-sourcing of catering for certain correctional centers was first awarded to Bosasa on 1 August 2004 #StateCaptureInquiry
He says It was immediately mired in controversy: insiders told him that It was common knowledge that Angelo Agrizzi and Patrick Gillingham had contributed to framing the requirements for the tender, #StateCaptureInquiry
He adds...and that it had been framed in such a way that Bosasa would be advantaged. #StateCaptureInquiry
Mr. Selfe says this was particularly the case with TV monitoring : everyone accepted that one of the main points in a prison where the smuggling can occur is through the
kitchens. #StateCaptureInquiry
kitchens. #StateCaptureInquiry
He says therefore, television monitoring had to be part of the tender specification. He says but it was insufficient, #StateCaptureInquiry
He adds...so it was argued, to have centre-level or even provincial-level monitoring, because of the high incidence of collusion, therefore it was said to be necessary to have centre-level, regional and national television monitoring. #StateCaptureInquiry
Mr. Selfe says Bosasa was apparently the only service-provider that could deliver local, provincial and national television monitoring, he says hence it entered the tender process with at least one in-built advantage. #StateCaptureInquiry
