My Department operates a decentralised procurement model, where procurement and contract management is the responsibility of the budget holder, who is usually the head of the business unit. The heads of those eighty-one business units are responsible for ensuring compliance with my Department's Procurement Policy and all applicable national and EU rules and regulations, including Section 72 of the European Union (Award of Public Authority Contracts) Regulations 2016 (S.I. No. 284/2016), which sets out the criteria for the modification of contracts during their term.

The information sought is held at a business unit level however its compilation would require a disproportionate amount of time and staff resources.
