This is an interesting area, something of which I have
had experience with some years ago.
It was incumbent upon most State Government dept's that
ALL surplus equipment be tendered.  Most of the time
this is done.  
But many years ago these regulations were apparently
relaxed.  I know with ANR/AN that preservation groups
were given special consideration which was great, but
unfortunately some groups "benefited" more than others.
As for Commercial interests, well this sounds a little
dodgy to me and open to justifiable criticism.
