On what basis does the Minister maintain a collaborative procurement arrangement delivers increased competition in the shorter and longer term.?
In the case where UK companies ( these would include NI where Uk suppliers provide NI accounts with a sterling trade price list) and these same UK suppliers supply out-lets in the Republic with the sterling price list converted to 1.40 and 1.50 exchange rates - effectively eliminating domestic Irish companies from competing for these tenders - -resulting in additions to the live register and loss of domestic exchequer returns - what risk assessment has been carried out on the broader aspects of this collective policy and what cost has been evaluated for this figure verses savings for the Irish taxpayer given that additions to the live register are a current and future cost?
As domestic competitors are being removed form the market by this collective process what provision has
NPA and the Minister's department taken to insure that future costs on these purchases will not increase negatively once there is no domestic competition ?
