I have been provided the following table by the Central Bank which details the total financial cost of contracts awarded by the Central Bank to the specified companies in each of the years 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013. I have been informed by the Central Bank that, for commercial reasons, it can only provide the requested information on an aggregate basis. In relation to the total number of contracts awarded by the Central Bank to companies in this period, I have been informed by the Central Bank that this information could not be compiled in the time available. I have been informed by the Central Bank that the “Other” column includes procurements where tenders were not held due to exceptional circumstances (e.g. financial crisis related) or where compliance with procurement legislation cannot be verified in the time available. My officials have requested the outstanding material from the Central Bank and it will be forwarded to the Deputy as soon as it is available.
