Estimates for Public Services 2019
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (Revised)
Mr. Maurice Buckley:
There are several ways to manage contracts. We would be party to the continual review of the Government form of construction contract which is managed by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. There are a number of variations of the form over time. The OPW has used variations in the heritage area, but 99 times out of 100 we use the straightforward fixed-price contract which works in the case of most of our work.
