Financial Statements 2024: Uisce Éireann

Ms Maria O'Dwyer:

When we go to the market for tender, we take the most economically advantageous approach. We would have a contract strategy in place that allows us to have large, medium and small contractors in our system. We have a lot of frameworks there that are designed to allow us to deliver at scale. We are now in our regulatory control 4 process for the next five years, out to 2029. That is where we would have identified contracting solutions. There are a number of large frameworks there. There are a number of other frameworks in our capital space, capital programme and ancillary works. Depending on the nature of the work we are doing for large capital projects, we will still go out to the market. It is important to us that the technical capability is there. Depending on the work being done, we will determine what percentage is associated with those requirements and what piece is associated with cost.
