View answerThe Irish Prison Service uses the standard template documents for procurement of goods, services and works as prescribed by the Office of Government Procurement and adheres fully to the procedures set out therein. There is no requirement to publish the details, outcomes or resolution processes relating to challenges and complaints regarding procurement. All issues are clearly dealt with in accordance with the procedures set out in each invitation or request for tender.
