Public Accounts Committee

2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 40 - Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth

9:30 am

Mr. Kevin McCarthy:

I understand. The Deputy is referring to the costs of those contracts per person. That will be part of the negotiated contract. We can certainly provide information on that. What we found, in approaching the four, was that two providers were ultimately in a position to meet our needs across the number of facilities for which we sought to procure contracts of this nature. It is a concern to be honest, because as we expand our accommodation provision across independent facilities of this nature, we will be reliant on facilities management organisations to be able to provide services to them. There is potentially a capacity question in the sector.
