My Department plans its annual procurement programme each year in the context of the annual Estimates process to identify the necessary scale of financial provision. Given the scale of the Department and its limited direct purchasing requirements, a formal annual procurement plan is not considered necessary. Most of the Department's procurement is in the area of consultancies, IT and office systems and equipment.
