I am advised by Revenue that the details as regards consultants and information technology external resources contracted to undertake IT related work is as follows:

Companies working on projects in each of the years 2015 to 2017

Number of persons supplied to work on projects in each of the years 2015 to 2017

Amount paid to each company for services in each of the years 2015 to 2017

The invoicing contract payment mechanism:

The Revenue contract with the suppliers of external ICT resources operates on a time and materials basis.  Contractors work a fixed number of hours per week (40 hours) and may be required to work overtime from time to time. All time worked is recorded on a Time & Attendance system.  Individual line managers with reporting contractors verify and enter the attendance figures into a centralised Resource Management Accounting system which calculates the actual costs to be paid to each vendor.
