I propose to take Questions Nos. 827 and 830 together.

My Department has not incurred any expenditure on external IT consultants since March 2011.

My Department does, however, have contracts with several companies for the provision of ICT personnel, who are classed as contractors rather than consultants.

All contracts entered into follow Public Procurement guidelines and, when completed, are re-advertised on eTenders or the EU Journal as appropriate.

The amount spent on contracts for ICT personnel is as follows:

201020112012201320142015 to date
€768,274€806,538€873,266€784,881€927,392€381,802
