Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 13 February 2018
155. Deputy Mick Wallace asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the public contracts that have been awarded to a company (details supplied) in each year since March 2011, in tabular form; the cost per contract; and the basis for each contract. [6790/18]
View answerThe public procurement process for all public sector bodies is facilitated through the national eProcurement platform eTenders which is managed by the Office of Government Procurement. The eTenders platform processes both national and the European level contract award notices required to be published in the Official Journal of the EU. The accuracy of the data is dependent on that entered on eTenders by public sector buyers.
An analysis of contract award notices, both at national and European level, published on the eTenders platform since March 2011 shows that there was one contract award notice published for the company whose details were supplied by the Deputy. My officials will provide this information to the Deputy.
Details of companies trading through a subsidiary or as part of a consortium are not recorded on the award notices. The management of the tendering process and the administration of the contract once awarded is a matter for each contracting authority.
