In 2009 my Department issued a mini-tender under a Department of Finance Framework agreement. Vodafone was selected on the basis of the cost and quality of service provided. This agreement also allows my Department to benefit from any reduced charges provided for under any subsequent Vodafone contracts with the State. The name of the mobile telephone companies contracted and amounts paid in the last five years are set out below:
YEAR | NAME OF COMPANY | COST |
2007 | 02 and Vodafone | €193,168 |
2008 | 02 and Vodafone | €170,882 |
2009 | Vodafone | €133,743 |
2010 | Vodafone | €142,036 |
2011 | Vodafone | €120,879 |
