87. Deputy Albert Dolan asked the Minister for Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation further to the launch of the National Development Finance Agency’s new centralised expert assistance service for major capital projects under Action 24 of the ‘Accelerating Infrastructure Report and Action Plan’, whether his Department considers the absence of a unique, universal supplier identifier across all public procurement bodies to be a constraint on achieving the stated objectives of cost reduction, standardisation and value-for-money; whether the introduction of such an identifier would support improved visibility of total State expenditure on suppliers involved in major infrastructure and capital projects supported by the NDFA; and whether his Department has assessed the potential for extending centralised supplier tracking to inform procurement and cost-control decisions at sub-national or local authority level.
