In 2024, following a competitive procurement process, the department awarded Synergy Security Solutions Ltd. with a contract for the provision of security services for an initial two-year period. There are options available, at the discretion of my Department, for two twelve-month contract extensions thereafter.
The following table outlines the value of the contract for the initial two year period and the total value of the contract if the contract extensions are exercised.
| Contract | VAT Rate & Value | Total Contract Cost (Incl. VAT) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Contract Value (Excl. Extensions): €7,988,400 | 23% | €1,837,332 | €9,825,732 |
| Value of Extensions €8,787,240 | 23% | €2,021,065 | €10,808,305 |
| Total Contract Value €16,775,240 | 23% | €3,858,397 | €20,634,037 |
I trust this clarifies the query for the Deputy.
