Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 26 July 2022
477. Deputy Jackie Cahill asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform further to Parliamentary Question No. 260 of 28 April 2022 (details supplied), when his Department will next advertise a tender for the transport of patients for appointments and dialysis in the north Tipperary area of the HSE mid-west region; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [40726/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraMy officials in the Office of Government Procurement have no governance role relating to the Health Service Executive’s (HSE’s) procurement activities. The tender in question and its timing are operational matters for the HSE as the contracting authority. The Office of Government Procurement is engaged by public bodies by submitting a formal Procurement Service Request (PSR), which provides the details of such the proposed procurement project. In the event that such a request for procurement support for this requirement is received, my officials will endeavour to provide assistance, schedule and resources allowing.
