Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 31 March 2021
504. Deputy Mairéad Farrell asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the spend for his Department on public procurement disaggregated by spend on goods, services and capital works in each of the years 2018 to 2020, in tabular form. [17962/21]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe information sought is not readily available in the format requested. Its compilation would involve a disproportionate amount of time and work as it would require a cross-check of all of the payments made by the Department during 2018, 2019 and 2020 against all contracts awarded following a public procurement process and a breakdown of each payment by goods, services or capital works.
My Department does however compile a register of contracts in excess of €25,000 (excluding VAT), for each year. Details for 2018 and 2019 can be found on my Department's website at the link https://www.gov.ie/en/collection/14085-public-contracts-awarded-over-25000-euro/.
The return for 2020 is currently being finalised and will be available at the link above following review by the Comptroller and Auditor General.
