Question:
To ask the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, in relation to her departmental headquarters relocation to Ballykelly, which procurement contracts have been awarded to suppliers (i) based in East Londonderry; and (ii) in the third sector.

Answer:

All contracts for the redevelopment of the site for my new departmental headquarters at Ballykelly will be awarded through DFP’s Central Procurement Directorate (CPD) in line with Executive policy.

I can confirm that the contract for the ‘site enabling works’ has been awarded by CPD to a supplier with a base in Coleraine. This contract covers site clearance and demolition works.

I can also confirm that no contracts to date have been awarded to the third sector.
