My Department procures all required goods, services and capital works in the context of national guidance, and national and EU requirements and regulations. Very limited capital works are procured directly, with our capital schemes and programmes generally delivered through local authorities and other bodies.
Procurement of small goods and services, necessary for the day to day running of the Department, would take place on an ongoing basis. In line with the thresholds in place, the attached table details payments for goods, services and capital works, paid directly by my Department over the period in question, relating to contracts with a value of more that €25,000 (excluding VAT), or €10,000 (excluding VAT) for ICT related expenditure.
