Principle 8: Workshops are to allow for separate break out rooms/spaces and limit discussion during break times

• A break out room should be made available so that representatives of either the bidder or government project team can have confidential discussions between themselves.

• No discussion should be held with any representative of the bidders during coffee or lunch breaks as those discussions will not be minuted. As a general rule, members of the government project team and bidder should retire to separate rooms during breaks.
