Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation
Public Procurement Contracts: Discussion
2:35 pm
Mr. John McNamee:
I will quote from the 2013 annual report of TenderScout, a company that assists SMEs in tendering for Government procurement. It stated that 28% of public tenders left the State. That information is in the public arena and is quoted by Dr. Paul Davis, who will come before the committee today. There are two figures which are close to 30%.
