I refer to your question in relation to contracts for the provision of client, customer facing and orientated services. My Department has one such contract with the National Council for the Blind of Ireland (NCBI). The contract is for the provision of telephony services to both the Department of Finance and the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. The total vat exclusive amount paid to the NCBI for the past five years to date, for the provision of telephony services to both Departments, is €439,619.
