All procurement within my Department is carried out in compliance with relevant National and EU policy and legislation, and is operated on a devolved basis whereby individual units carry out their own procurement exercises. My Department advertises, where feasible, all contracts valued in excess of €25,000 (excl. VAT) on the eTenders website.

The exercise to collate this data in relation to the contracts entered into by my Department is still ongoing and is not yet complete. I am advised that the information should be available shortly and will be provided to the Deputy.

I have referred this PQ to the HSE to provide information directly to you in relation to HSE contracts.

Details for other bodies under the aegis of my Department are operational matters for the bodies concerned and the Deputy should contact the relevant Director/CEO/Registrar directly.
