Answer
The Northern Ireland Audit Office report on Major Capital Projects from December 2019 is the subject of a Public Accounts Committee (PAC) enquiry which commenced in March 2020.
It is normal practice to wait for PAC to publish its recommendations so as not to pre-empt the outcome of the enquiry. When the PAC recommendations are published, I will ensure that any recommendations, on the role of procurement in the delivery of major capital projects, are taken up by the Procurement Board.
