My Department makes use of the “eTenders" platform for its capital infrastructure procurement. This platform is managed by the Office of Government Procurement and as such there is no cost incurred to my Department for any tendering conducted on this platform. My  Department employs Design Teams on capital projects, who advise on a range of matters from building design to construction oversight, including the assessment of tenders received from the conduct, by my Department, of tenders competitions.
