Public Accounts Committee

2019 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 39 - Office of Government Procurement

1:00 pm

Mr. Paul Quinn:

The Government Contracts Committee for Construction is the main engagement body in relation to the parties that conduct the main construction activities of government. It would include bodies such as the National Treasury Management Agency and Transport Infrastructure Ireland. It includes all the key players, including local authorities. That is on one side. On the other side, we have routine and regular engagement with industry, so we very much do gather information on how our frameworks are operating and the need to modernise and reform them. We have plans regarding all this because that is our main mechanism. Data would obviously be of assistance as well, but most of the information we get would be through the key bodies charged with the delivery of projects. They give us feedback routinely and regularly on the issues at play.
