Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 9 July 2009
588 Deputy Michael D’Arcy asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs the companies which have been successful in tendering for contracts for his Department in the past 20 years; the other companies which tendered for the same contracts; the tender prices for these contracts; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [29835/09]
View answerMy Department deals with approximately 800 suppliers of goods and services annually, many for relatively small amounts. The Deputy will appreciate that it would be a costly and time consuming task for staff to extract the information sought by the Deputy for the past twenty years, and that it would not be possible to do this in the time available.
My Department makes use of the Government Procurement website (www.e-tenders.gov.ie ) when tendering for significant projects. Set out below are the notices published by my Department on that website since February 2004. The Deputy may wish to refer to this list in order to identify particular contracts or categories of contract in respect of which I or my officials will be happy to provide further information if he so requests.
I should point out that while I will be able to provide figures for the value of contracts awarded to successful tenderers, I would not be at liberty to disclose the prices submitted by unsuccessful tenderers because that information continues to be commercially sensitive and confidential even after the completion of the tender process.
