Public Accounts Committee

University of Limerick: Financial Statements 2014-2015

9:00 am

Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

I will try to assist here. The involvement of the Office of Government Procurement would be around what is called a framework agreement. Framework agreements are being put in place for all public bodies to avail of if it suits their circumstances. There could be one for electricity supply, for cleaning services and for security services. It creates a panel of potential service providers using a competitive process which is publicly advertised and so on. Mr. Mannion is referring to a panel that has been put in place for recruitment agencies to assist public bodies to carry out recruitment processes under licence.
