MR. HUI : Sir, in the light of an increasing number of
sheltered workshops and work activity centres catering to
disabled workers, could the Government inform this Council
whether the number of such single tenders will increase in
the future to cope with increasing demands, provided the
conditions as spelt out in the Financial Secretary's reply
are met?
FINANCIAL
SECRETARY : Sir,
sheltered
workshops
and
self-employed disabled
disabled people may always
apply to the
of Government
Supplies for registration as
cof director
potential suppliers of specific goods or services. The
director will consider
inviting them to submit single
tenders provided they meet the Government's basic
requirements which I have already outlined.
Members may be interested in knowing that the Factory for
the Blind, run by the Society for the Blind, has, over the
last 10 years or so, developed a range of products which
the Government requires, and orders valued over $3 million
have been awarded to it.
