I propose to take Questions Nos. 142 and 143 together.

In 2020 and 2021 to date, the Department of Foreign Affairs agreed one contract for Covid-19 related spending via negotiated procedure without prior publication. The total value of the contract was €842,160. Details are supplied in the table below.

The Department used the negotiated procurement procedure for mobile workstations that included a 22” monitor, wired mouse and keyboard, laptop and carry case. This allows the Department to support the remote safe working of local staff in our Mission network during the course of the Pandemic.
