Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 154 and 156 together.
The information requested by the Deputy is not readily available. The Department of Health follows procurement guidelines with regard to contract awards.
The Office of Government Procurement has responsibility, together with sectorial partners, for putting in place framework agreements and contracts through which public sector bodies can buy goods and services. The Office is also responsible for procurement policy and procedures, sourcing systems and data analytics.
A list of contracts awarded since 2016 is available on the OGP website ogp.gov.ie/contract-awards-for-standalone-mini-competitions/ .
If there is any particular contract the Deputy wishes to receive information on please contact my private office.
