The cumulative value of advertising placed by my Department in print media in each of the years since 2002 was as follows:
2006 ( to end June) — €426,000
2005 — €504,000
2004 — €790,000
2003 — €416,000
2002 — €1,007,000.
The details as requested by the Deputy in regard to the value of advertising placed in magazines is not readily available in my Department.
My Department utilises the e-Tenders website which is a central facility for all public sector contracting authorities to advertise procurement opportunities and award notices. The site is managed by the National Public Procurement Policy Unit of the Department of Finance while day to day management and maintenance of the site has been outsourced. There is no charge to contracting authorities for this service.
