Minister for Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation

The vast majority of externally procured services necessary to deliver the Financial Management Shared Service Project relate to the provision of technical and support services. Those services are now procured.

Any further procurement, should it arise, would only arise in instances of work that is not included in the current contracts for services and cannot be completed by NSSO staff or where current contracts expire and there is a business requirement for the continuation of services.

All contracts are reviewed and monitored on a regular basis by the NSSO.
