This RFQ pertained to the period 2001-2002 and provided for a "purchase preference" to Public Sector undertakings (PSUs) allegedly to the detriment of the members of the Appellant. The RFQ did not provide for a

"price preference" (as it allegedly should have) for small scale industries such as the members of the Appellant.
