The Government does not support the Boycott, Divest and Sanction approach, while fully recognising that individuals and organisations have the right to make their own decisions in this regard.

With regard to how my Department procures goods and services, it is my Department’s policy to follow the guidance of the Office of Government Procurement (OGP) and to utilise the procurement frameworks put in place by the OGP wherever possible. There is a multi Supplier Framework Agreement in place for the provision of ICT equipment, details are available on the OGP website at gov.ie.
