1 Mrs. Fennell asked the Taoiseach if he will outline in relation to his Department (1) the number of Government contracts which are in force, (2) whether all contracts are renewed annually and (3) whether contracts are granted as a result of tendering to the most competitive estimate.
I propose to circulate in the Official Report the details requested by the Deputy.

All contracts are renewed annually except for the computer equipment maintenance contract which is renewed every three years |
Contracts are generally granted as a result of tendering with the exception of software licence wherecompetitive tendering applies only before the software is chosen. In the case of maintenance of office and printing equipment contracts the firm supplying the equipment is also awarded the contract for maintenance. A competition for minor ground maintenance contracts is held every three to four years. |
