According to the PAT director-general, the selection panel is waiting for EEC policymakers to decide whether the NPC bid will be discounted. If the policymakers disagree with the panel, NPC will be given a chance to continue in the bidding process. Mr Kamolsak said the panel had unsealed GPC's fourth bid envelope, which concerns a bid price. "Talks with GPC have not yet started and I am not sure how long the negotiations will take," said Mr Kamolsak.
