Public Accounts Committee

2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General
Chapter 3 - Central Government Funding of Local Authorities

9:30 am

Mr. Graham Doyle:

Absolutely. In our case, if we are providing funding through any of our programmes, we require and the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform requires that procurement is fully complied with. There is a huge range of rules and regulations around that and they must be complied with. There are some exceptions in the case of emergency circumstances, etc. Obviously, some of those have arisen in recent years and in the interests of providing services to the public, but we would insist in relation to our funding programmes and we would follow-up and check in relation to the requirement for procurement procedures to be followed.
