All procurement undertaken by the Defence Organisation is conducted in accordance with public procurement policy and national and EU legislation.
A wide range of non-capital goods and services are procured directly by the Defence Forces. These include items associated with day-to-day operations such as food, clothing, transport, utilities and the maintenance of equipment. The services of the Office of Government Procurement and centralised framework agreements are also used to acquire items that may be in common demand by a number of Departments.
