Question:

88. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the way in which he has permitted the measured term maintenance contract for Dublin city and county operated by the Office of Public Works in the context of its apparent breach of procurement legislation in view of the fact that the projects undertaken are not in line with the contract, which is primarily supposed to be a maintenance contract.

The Measured Term Maintenance Contract was awarded following a competitive tendering process in line with procurement legislation. The contract provides for the delivery of building fabric maintenance and minor works. The pricing document includes rates for a wide variety of works.
