Written answers

The amount spent on cleaning services from my Department's Vote was as follows, 2011 €228,300.26; 2012 €189,943.19 and to the end of January 2013 €11,143.17. These figures contain payments made in respect of cleaning services, janitorial supplies and other incidental cleaning costs.

Following an EU procurement exercise a Cleaning Services Framework was established to provide cleaning services. This is a simple way to procure these services to my Department at competitive rates from a list of qualified vendors. The starting date for the Framework Agreement was 21 June 2010 and it is for a 4 year term. The five qualified vendors were Grosvenor Cleaning Services; Derrycourt Company Limited; ISS Facility Services; Momentum Support Services Ireland Limited and G4S Support Services and the vast majority of payments were made to these companies.
