Contract Award Notices (CAN) resulting from a mini competition conducted by the OGP, under an OGP framework or DPS on behalf of the Department of Transport are captured and published by the OGP Sourcing Team on eTenders.

My Department has conducted five OGP Framework competitions in the period 2023-2024 via self-serve on eTenders and confirms that Contract Award Notices were published for those competitions.

Drawdowns from OGP frameworks by agencies/bodies under the remit of my Department are a matter for the agency/body concerned and I have forwarded the Deputy's question to the relevant bodies for direct reply.
