I propose to take Questions Nos. 503 and 504 together.

Data on contract placement is currently available for the years 2008-2011 and relates to above-EU threshold contracts only and is contained in the tabular statement which will be sent to the Deputy under separate cover. The NPS does not collate data on below threshold tenders. The EU thresholds for 2008/2009 and for 2010/2011 are set out in the tables immediately below. Data in respect of 2012 will not be available until the third quarter 2013 as this data is collated a year in arrears.

The Deputy should be aware that the figures contained in the table relates to the number of contracts placed which were above the EU Threshold for the year in question and must not be interpreted as indicative statistics for the overall procurement spend. It must also be borne in mind that these statistics relate only to above threshold procurements, where contract award notices were published. The NPS does not collate figures on below threshold procurements.

Thresholds 2010/2011

Contract Notice €4,845,000Threshold applies to Government Departments and Offices, Local and Regional Authorities and other public bodies.

Please find below a table showing the number of contracts put in place by the National Procurement Service (NPS) and the total estimated value for the contracts for 2010, 2011 and 2012. As the NPS only came into existence in the middle of 2009, there are no centralised figures available prior to 2010.
