The Comptroller and Auditor General has reported that the contract was awarded to PA Consulting on the basis that payment would be made on receipt of monthly invoices for the support provided in the previous month rather than on the basis of milestones, as was requested under the tender. While the Department engaged in a tendering process, it did not adhere to it and that firm has been paid €399,000.
