Written answers

I propose to take Questions Nos. 135 and 136 together.

In accordance with Circular 40/2002, issued by the Department of Finance, my Department completes an annual return in respect of contracts above a €25,000 threshold which have been awarded without a competitive process. These returns are submitted annually to the Office of the Comptroller and Auditor General as part of the Appropriation Account process.

The return for 2020 is currently being compiled and is not yet finalised. The provisional outturn, however, identifies four contracts in the period under question where Covid-19 related spending took place via a negotiated procedure without prior publication. The attached table provides details of these contracts.
