Mr. Paul Quinn:
The current staff complement is approximately 55, which incudes 40 staff who transferred to the Department from the National Procurement Service, 25 of whom are engaged in procurement work. As the new office is rolled out, the dimensioning of the procurement aspect will be approximately 140 staff to manage the 60% spend. We are recruiting people from within the public service to bring those skills into the centre and new Office of Government Procurement.
