I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that the details sought by the Deputy are set out in the following tables. Where the work was undertaken on a "per person per day" basis, details of the number of persons engaged are set out in the table.
Information regarding the number of persons engaged is not available where companies were engaged to deliver a specific body of work or project. It should also be noted that the amount paid may not relate to work done solely in that particular year i.e. work delivered in a particular year may not have been paid until the following year. Companies providing external resources were selected following a tendering process in 2010 and in 2013.
The work undertaken by external resources is supervised and authorised by Revenue management. Payments in respect of resources working on per diem rates are based on the work-days reported by Revenue managers. Payments in respect of project work are based on invoices certified by Revenue managers.
External resources working in Revenue are obliged to adhere to the Revenue Delivery Method (RDM) which is a comprehensive guide to the activities required to deliver high-value ICT solutions and services for Revenue. It provides Revenue ICT teams with proven processes, deliverables and techniques that enable them to define what to do and how to do it.
Expenditure on external IT resources is required by Revenue to engage computer experts to develop, support and maintain critical IT projects, such as Integrated Taxpayer Processing and Revenue On-Line Services. The software developments that result from such expenditure are tangible assets and are recognised as such in Revenue's Annual Appropriation Account.
