All procurement within my Department is carried out in compliance with relevant National and EU policy and legislation, and is operated on a devolved basis whereby individual units carry out their own procurement exercises. My Department advertises, where feasible, all contracts valued in excess of €25,000 (excl. VAT) on the eTenders website.
I am not aware of any instance where contracts have been awarded by the Dept of Health outside of the standard procurement process, in order to assist the arrival of refugees fleeing the war in Ukraine.
I have referred this PQ to the HSE to provide information directly to you in relation to HSE contracts.
Details for other bodies under the aegis of my Department are operational matters for the bodies concerned and the Deputy should contact the relevant Director/CEO/Registrar directly.
