Vote 21 – Prisons
Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts Special Report No. 93: Annualised Hours of the Prison Service
9:00 am
Mr. Michael Donnellan:
It will only be corrected as new prisons come along with new locking systems. We are also developing a bespoke time and attendance system. This will get rid of the time and attendance legacy issue.
Under the Office of Government Procurement we had seven cases in 2015 at a value of €3.4 million. I am happy to report that in six of those cases, contracts are now in place and one is in the making.
The third issue relates to roll-over contracts and there were six cases under this heading. Now, we have contracts in place for the majority. In these cases the facilities in our procurement system were not available to go out to tender. The contract was rolled-over to pull off the contract for a further few months.
