In accordance with Circular 40/2002, issued by the Department of Finance, my Department completes an annual return in respect of contracts above a €25,000 threshold which have been awarded without a competitive process (negotiated procedure without prior publication). These returns are submitted annually to the Office of the Comptroller and Auditor General as part of the Appropriation Account process.

The return for 2020 has been submitted to the Office of the C&AG and details of the 23 entries amounting to €3,541,929 are available in Table 1.

The compilation of the 2021 return is an ongoing process. To date there have been nine contracts identified where procurement took place via a negotiated procedure without prior publication. These amount to €1,413,140 and are set out in Table 2.
