The first 5 orders in the Table above were placed under centralised National Procurement Service framework contracts managed by the Office of Public Works, or were procured by the National Procurement Service on behalf of the Department. The management of these orders, including any tendering arrangements, is a matter for the OPW. The final order was managed by my Department and a total of 5 companies (including 4 Irish companies) were invited to tender.
