Amharc ar fhreagraThe procurement of supplies and services is essential to support my Department and bodies under the aegis of my Department in providing high quality services to the public, in a cost effective and efficient manner.
The tables below set out details of contracts over €25,000 for my Department and those bodies under the aegis of my Department that were found to be non-compliant with procurement guidelines in 2019 and those that my Department consider to be non-compliant to date in 2020.
