The Taoiseach

My Department is not a party to any administrative arrangements. Procurement of services by my Department is carried out under procedures set out by the Office of Government Procurement and EU Procurement rules. These procedures are designed to ensure that competitive processes are in place to select the providers of services which represent the best value to my Department.
