This contract was null and void if the contractor had ceased trading. There was no enforceable contract against the Department because the contractor did not complete the job. Why does the Department refer to a "legally enforceable commitment" if nobody can legally enforce it against the Department? Who was the contracting authority for this, St. Patrick's or the Department?
