The Office of Public Works (OPW) is the exclusive procurer of office accommodation for the civil service and the sole authority for allocating space to the civil service. The acquisition and leasing of accommodation (including the rental costs and duration of leases) are a matter for the OPW, who have been tasked with the management of the State’s property portfolio. The OPW has a central role in promoting greater efficiency and coordination of property asset management in the wider public service.
