Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

Without doing a formal examination of it, there is probably not much more I can say to the committee. I think we are now four years into the operation of the Office of Government Procurement. Many framework agreements are in place and it has done much analysis of what organisations are buying and the specific challenges. It has a lot of expert people who are specialists in procuring medical or educational supplies and so on. From a programming perspective, that would probably be the best way to get most value for the committee. These are the examples of where the thing breaks down somewhat and the challenges that organisations have.
