Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 24 June 2025
387. Deputy Albert Dolan asked the Minister for Education and Youth if her 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. [33674/25]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Department of Education and Youth use a centralised ‘SharePoint’ Contracts Register, which is updated by individual business units within the Department. The program is an inhouse IT design which allows us to improve the data collected to meet Public Procurement Law as it evolves. Contracts listed are also monitored by the Procurement Policy Unit.
The information in respect of state bodies under the aegis, within the scope of the Deputy’s question, is not held by my department. State bodies have been provided with the question and have been advised to respond directly to the Deputy.
