Mr. Maurice Buckley:
That is a wider general framework contract that we use for a significant amount of building maintenance. The Chair also asked about civil engineering works. The framework contracts we are examining are linked to events in 2016 or State visits. However, because the OPW is responsible for the maintenance of all State buildings, we have another range of procured services for the maintenance function and in some cases are able to make use of that.
