§ Miss WiddecombeThe advisory panel chaired by the permanent secretary of the Employment Department appraised the bids on eight criteria, based upon those set out in the training and enterprise council challenge prospectus published in April, a copy of which is in the Library. I made my decisions after receiving advice from the advisory panel. The TEC challenge bids are commercial-in-confidence; however, I have placed a list showing brief descriptions of the winning bids in the Library.
