My Departmental remit includes complex policy areas, oversight of regulation and service provision across key strategic services such as energy and public service broadcasting, as well as regulation of sectors such as mining and hydrocarbon exploration. Given the technical complexity, economic significance and community interest in these areas, there is a requirement to disseminate information and to address specific issues as they arise. My Department therefore necessarily incurs some expenditure on a number of advertising campaigns to promote its policies / programmes from time to time.In procuring these services, my Department always seeks to ensure value for money and the keeping of expenditure to the minimum necessary.
