To ask the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the way an organisation can get on the list of preferred suppliers for the Office of Public Works; when the next round of applications will be accepted; the criteria for companies that wish to apply; if there are different criteria depending on the size of the companies; the size on the contracts they will be aiming for; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The Office of Public Works selects electrical contractors in a number of ways. For larger and medium sized works contractors are selected on a project-by-project basis. These projects are usually publicly advertised on etenders. The criteria for selection are appropriate to the size and scope of the work. For maintenance and minor work in the Dublin region a tender is run for a framework contract. A number of contractors are appointed to this framework. The tender for this framework contract is due to be advertised in the next month. Detailed criteria for selection will be published in the tender.
