My Department’s EmployAbility Services are currently delivered under contract by 24 different organisations located around the state and each contract is reflective of the cost of that service in that contracted area. The total collective value of all contracts for 2021 is just over €10m.
The estimated additional cost of increasing the collective contract values of the EmployAbility Service by 5%, 10% and 25% is approximately €500,000, €1,000,000 and €2,500,000 respectively, based on current contract values for 2021.
I trust this information is of assistance to the Deputy.
