I propose to take Questions Nos. 22 and 23 together.

My Department awarded two contracts totalling €81,272 (ex VAT) in 2020 under the negotiated procedure without prior publication for goods which were essential to the Departments response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Both contracts were awarded on the grounds of urgency and details are shown in the table below.

No Covid-19 related contracts have been awarded to date in 2021 under this procedure.
