Recently, Circular 09/2024 was introduced which requires large spending public bodies to report on their use of central procurement arrangements. The Circular is advanced by the Office of Government Procurement (OGP), a division of the Department of Public Expenditure, NDP Delivery and Reform. It follows Circular 16/13 on the use of centralised procurement arrangements.
To ensure the reporting requirements of the new Circular are balanced and proportionate, the provisions extend to departments and larger spending public bodies in relation to the award of public contracts for goods and services valued over €143,000.
Only contracts for goods and services are in scope for the reporting requirements, and 2024 is the first year of review. Public bodies have until July 2025 to submit their report and smaller public bodies such as schools will not be subject to the reporting requirements.
The Reporting template is available below. This should be filled out by the Public Body and emailed to circular9-24@ogp.gov.ie
