In accordance with the Department of Finance Public Procurement Guidelines, the Department of Arts, Sport and Tourism recently sought tenders in respect of the provision of cleaning services in the Department's office at New Road, Killarney, Co. Kerry. Of seven qualifying tenders, the Department selected one which was considered to be the most economically advantageous having regard to the criteria applied. The selected tenderer has been notified and contractual documentation is currently being finalised with them. Until the contract has been signed I do not propose to put the name of the selected tenderer into the public domain. The unsuccessful tenderers have also been notified, and where sought, the Department has provided feedback to them on their submissions.
