No contracts or expired contracts for towing services, medical services and translation services, breakdown provided shows
These included either no contracts or expired contracts with some 20 vehicle-towing companies, worth almost €6 million in total.
In a note to the list, it is noted that some contracts were procured for operational needs and some companies continued operating under expired contracts. It added that “14 new contracts are currently in place with the final 14 contracts to be completed by March 31st this year”. Similarly a 24 hour doctor-on-call service used by the Garda, worth €1.934 million, was technically operating without being compliant with procurement rules in 2021. The reason given was a technical error. A framework for four years had been in operation since 2019 but because of an oversight error the contracts for services in 2021 as provided for in the framework were not signed and put in place. Another medical contract worth almost €1 million was out of compliance for the same reason.
