Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 28 June 2016
344. Deputy Willie O'Dea asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform if he has received correspondence from a person (details supplied); if he has examined the issue raised; his views on this; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [18391/16]
Amharc ar fhreagraI can confirm that correspondence has been received from this company.
Having reviewed the issues raised, I am satisfied that the Office of Government Procurement ("OGP") tender process was robust, transparent and open and that it acted in line with Circular 10/14 Initiatives to assist SMEs in Public Procurement (April 2014) and the appropriate Directives and Regulations. The tender process enabled participation by all potential tenderers, whilst being mindful of the OGP's core purpose of delivering sustainable value for the taxpayer.
