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:

There is a commitment under the programme for Government to have all procurement frameworks include green criteria within a three-year timeframe. That work has commenced. Obviously, we have arrangements that are already in place. Replacing a framework takes anything from one to two years because there is a lot of work required to make it happen. The work is happening on a rolling basis as we replace some of the 121 frameworks we have live at this moment. The work is ongoing. Much of this dates back to the previous Government and the climate action plan that came into place during its period in office.

A lot of work has started and is continuing.
