749. Deputy Albert Dolan asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if all contracting authorities under the aegis of his Department are in full compliance with Circular 05/2023, in particular the mandatory requirement to publish contract award notices for all contracts above €25,000; and if he will provide details of the monitoring or enforcement arrangements in place to ensure this requirement is met. [51658/25]
Amharc ar fhreagraOfficials in my Department are currently updating the Contract Award Notices for all contracts valued over €25,000 ex-VAT to ensure full compliance with Circular 05/2023. This will be completed shortly.
Separately, my Department publishes the details of all contracts awarded that are valued over €25,000 ex-VAT on a quarterly basis on my Department’s website. These details are available at: www.gov.ie/en/department-of-agriculture-food-and-the-marine/collections/contracts-awarded/
As regards the 13 State Bodies under the aegis of my Department, the information requested is an operational matter for the State Bodies themselves. I have referred the Deputy’s question to the Agencies and have requested that a response should issue as soon as possible.
