Deputy Albert Dolan asked the Minister for Rural and Community Development and the Gaeltacht the number and value of contracts that underwent post-award variations; the net value change as a percentage of original awards, by CPV/category; and the three most common drivers of variation identified, for 2022–2024. [60948/25]
View answerThe details requested by the Deputy in relation to the nature and value of contracts that underwent post award variations by CPV category, from 2022 to 2024, are provided in the table below in respect of my Department. Over the period in question there were 7 contracts with such contracts.
