Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

National Children's Hospital

Mr. David Gunning:

The Office of Government Procurement set out various schemes regarding Covid payments for construction works and public projects. Given the nature of the children's hospital project and the nature of the contract, this particular contract is outside of the scope for those particular arrangements. Nonetheless, we have left the door open for the contractor to make submissions to us. We have assured the contractor that if they were to make realistic and reasonable submissions we would certainly share those with the Government, assuming the development board was in a position to get behind or feel comfortable with those particular proposals. We have not yet had any particular specific requests from the contractor at this time.
