Public Accounts Committee

2021 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works
Chapter 8 - Contract payments in respect of Convention Centre Dublin

9:30 am

Mr. Maurice Buckley:

There are a number of points there. We have developed a number of parallel frameworks. At the time we are talking about, there was a single measured-term maintenance contract in place for all of greater Dublin. Now there are two - north Dublin and south Dublin approximately. There are a number of other specific framework contracts for works required. For example, there is a frequent requirement for office fit-outs at very short notice. We have learned from experience in the past that in order to meet the timelines required by the Department, we had to use the measured-term maintenance contract in order to get the transparency and control we needed. We have specific frameworks in place.
