The information requested by the Deputy for my Department, the Office of Government Procurement (OGP) which is part of my Department, and the bodies under its aegis for the periods specified is set out in the tables below.

The Public Appointments Service (PAS) have advised the Department that due to the nature of its role, gathering the information required by the Deputy will be a considerable task. However, PAS has assured the Department that they will commence an exercise to collate the information requested and will reply directly to the Deputy as soon as possible.
