Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Engagement with Office of Public Works (25 Sep 2024)

Jim O'Callaghan: A decision was then made that we needed to go down the procurement route and Mr. Conlon mentioned in his report that can be done by either an advertisement on eTenders or by way of the measured term maintenance contracts, MTMC, framework scheme. Why was it decided not to proceed by way of advertisement on eTenders?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Engagement with Office of Public Works (25 Sep 2024)

Jim O'Callaghan: In terms of the bike sheds in Government Buildings and Farmleigh, and maybe Ms Collier would know more about this, were they advertised on eTenders or were they completed under MTMC?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Engagement with Office of Public Works (25 Sep 2024)

Jim O'Callaghan: With the benefit of hindsight, does Mr. Conlon think that would have been the better avenue to proceed here?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Engagement with Office of Public Works (25 Sep 2024)

Jim O'Callaghan: When a decision is made to proceed down the MTMC framework route, who decides and on what basis is it decided which of the two contractors on that framework get the work?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Engagement with Office of Public Works (25 Sep 2024)

Jim O'Callaghan: When that contractor got the job, was it informed of the estimated cost that had been put on it by the OPW?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Engagement with Office of Public Works (25 Sep 2024)

Jim O'Callaghan: When did the cost estimate come in from the contractor? Obviously, before the contractor starts the work it has to indicate to the OPW how much it is going to charge. When did that happen?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Engagement with Office of Public Works (25 Sep 2024)

Jim O'Callaghan: What was that estimate? Was it in line with what was ultimately charged?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Engagement with Office of Public Works (25 Sep 2024)

Jim O'Callaghan: Are those estimates just provided to the relevant officer as he or she is referred to in the report or does it go to a higher level within the OPW?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Engagement with Office of Public Works (25 Sep 2024)

Jim O'Callaghan: When the relevant officer received the outline, bill or indication from the contractor as to what it was going to cost, he or she probably was not surprised because they had already set a price or an estimated cost of €350,000, is that correct?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Engagement with Office of Public Works (25 Sep 2024)

Jim O'Callaghan: From listening to the witnesses today and listening to Mr. Conlon today, he is stating unambiguously that the expenditure is not consistent with the scale of the project under consideration. At what stage does this go beyond the small team and somebody in the OPW says this is a completely inappropriate price we are paying? When does that happen?
