I can inform the Deputy that my Department does not have any contracts, nor any that are subcontracted, with the company named.

The Deputy will be aware that the ‘National Public Procurement Policy Framework’, issued by the Office of Government Procurement (OGP) in November 2019, sets out the procurement procedures to be followed by government departments and state bodies in accordance with EU rules and national guidelines. My Department operates its procurement practices in line with these procedures when seeking to purchase works, goods, or services from suppliers.
