The Office of the Government CIO, a division within my Department, provides internet access through the Government Networks shared service to a wide range of public service bodies. The table below lists the name of the current service providers along with the total contract value. Magnet was the successful bidder in a recent public procurement exercise and the contract to Viatel will be ceased shortly as a result.

My Department also offers a guest wifi service which allows public service bodies offer free wifi to members of the public. The contract for this service is with Vodafone and the total contract value is €609,136.
