Cleaning
In January 2022, following a competitive tender process, a new cleaning services contract covering 11 buildings accommodating the Department of Foreign Affairs in Dublin, Cork and Limerick was put in place. Accent Facilities Solutions won the contract, and they monitor the needs of each building and assign cleaners as required to meet agreed standards, rather than there being a set number of cleaners supplied. Under the new contract, Accent Facilities Solutions have taken over services previously contracted to Eco Support and Grosvenor Services in our Limerick and Cork offices respectively.

Security
In relation to Security costs, the Department has engaged the services of private security firm Manguard Plus across a number of our HQ Buildings.

In addition, the Department also procures an additional security service from GSLS. Details of the expenditure on these services between 2020 and 2022 are outlined below.
