Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 1 July 2025
512. Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Social Protection to list all the public services contracts worth €10 million or more, which have been granted by himself or the forerunner for his Department, or other State bodies in the past five years; the value of each contract; the length of term of each; the expiration date of each contract; and whether any contract was discontinued during its term and for what reason. [35491/25]
Amharc ar fhreagraProcurement is closely monitored across my Department and service contracts are only engaged in following a rigorous assessment of need and where the required competencies do not exist in-house. My Department has a robust Governance process in place to ensure it remains within the annual budgets allocated by the Department of Finance. The Department’s Project Governance Committee (PGC), (chaired by the Secretary General) approves and monitors all procurements over €55,000.
Details requested by the Deputy are set out below.
