My Department’s capital allocation is split over three subheads i.e. A.2. (v) Office Equipment and External IT Services, A.2. (vi) Office Premises Expenses and A.2. (ix) eGovernment Related Projects.
The following table outlines my Department’s plans for the 2019 capital allocation of €15m (including €1m capital carry over from 2018).
A.2. (v) Office Equipment and External IT Services
Projects | Estimated Cost/Tender Price |
---|---|
Ongoing purchase of computer hardware, photocopiers, other non-IT office machinery, software licenses including storage technology, investment in server infrastructure and in virtualisation technology etc. | €8.5m (This estimate relates to the ongoing purchase of a range of equipment and software to support the Department in its daily functions – it is not project specific) |
Intreo Centre Online Self Service | €0.3m (no tendering process as this is an in-house project). |
Sub Total | €8.8m |
A.2.(vi) Office Premises
The following table outlines the Department’s planned contribution towards the costs of refurbishment on Departmental Buildings in 2019. The Deputy may wish to note that in relation to refurbishment costs, all accommodation works are contracted by the Office of Public Works (OPW) who will be best positioned to provide details on the final agreed tender price. The OPW may also be providing part funding for some of the projects.

911. To ask the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection the capital projects completed since 2010; the final agreed tender price for each project; the actual cost of each project; if the actual cost exceeded the tender price; the reason therefore in each case in tabular form; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

I understand the Deputy is seeking information on projects with a spend of €5 million or above since 2010.
The capital allocation for my Department is primarily used to deliver IT modernisation and carry out refurbishments on the Department’s buildings. There have been no individual capital projects with a spend of €5 million or above since 2010.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
