The Office of Public Works (OPW) procurement policy in respect of all services provided by it to An Garda Síochána is determined by EU and national procurement legislation and procedures and consideration of value for money. I am satisfied that the current arrangements are appropriate and provide the most cost efficient outcomes in the context of open and transparent procurement rules.
