Since March 2011 Capita (formerly Southwestern Services) have held a number of contracts with this Department that were awarded following public procurement competitions.

The services supplied by the company in relation to bovine animals relate to the registration of bovine births, issue of bovine passports, and processing of farm to farm movements and death notifications. These services were previously the subject of two separate contracts but were combined in the tender of 10 July 2013.

Capita secured contracts also for the provision of a service for the handling, processing, verification and recording of pig movement notifications during the period in question.

The information in the Table below provides details of the contracts with my Department since March 2011.

As regards the State Bodies under the aegis of my Department, the information requested is an operational matter for the State Bodies themselves. I have referred the Deputy’s question to the Agencies and have requested that a response should issue within 10 days.
