Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 24 June 2025
963. Deputy Albert Dolan asked the Minister for Rural and Community Development and the Gaeltacht if his Department and each agency or public body under its remit uses a formal contract management system or procurement tracking platform; to list the systems in use; and if they are centrally monitored or independently operated. [33683/25]
View answerAs part of my Departments Procurement Policy, and in line with guidance from the Office of Government Procurement, officials in my Department maintain a Contracts Register to monitor and report on all contracts procured with a value over €25,000 excluding VAT. This register is updated quarterly. Given the relatively small level of procurement undertaken directly by the Department, my Department does not utilise a formal contract management system or procurement tracking platform.
I have been advised by each of the bodies under the remit of my Department that local contracts registers are in place, but that no formal contracts management systems or procurement tracking platforms are utilised.
