Vote 39 - Office of Government Procurement (2 Mar 2021) Brian Stanley: Before Mr. Moloney gives his opening statement, unfortunately I must limit him to five minutes. The committee is tied by Covid-19 restrictions and his opening statement is quite lengthy. I ask Mr. Moloney to summarise it and keep within five minutes because we are tied to a two-hour limit for our meeting.

Vote 39 - Office of Government Procurement (2 Mar 2021) Brian Stanley: I have some questions for Mr. Moloney about the vaccination centres. People understand that a lot of the procurement rules had to be set aside due to the speed and nature of the pandemic. We have been aware for six or seven months that vaccination centres would be needed and a number of organisations did offer their premises for use as vaccination centres. In England and other countries,...

Vote 39 - Office of Government Procurement (2 Mar 2021) Brian Stanley: The complexity is a large venue that is clean. I understand that the Pfizer vaccine must be stored below minus 70° Celsius but it is being brought to centres that do not have a cold storage facility and used within a few hours. All of the other vaccines can be used at the typical kitchen fridge temperature, so a standard fridge will be used to store them. I do not see the complexity....

Vote 39 - Office of Government Procurement (2 Mar 2021) Brian Stanley: The two-stage tender process indicates that the children's hospital has not just the appearance of a mess; it is a mess now. It is a fact that there are up to 700 of what were described, here in this room, as hearings by the witnesses from the national children's hospital board and the Department of Health. Does that not tell us that the nature of that contract is substantially flawed?

Vote 39 - Office of Government Procurement (2 Mar 2021) Brian Stanley: We would hope that those lessons are learned. My final questions concern social and environmental clauses in terms of public procurement. How much leeway have we about including these clauses in terms of EU Single Market rules? We have had some discussion on the environmental and green elements that are being incorporated into contracts but very little discussion on the social element....
