關(guān)于政府采購辦公室（OGP）
。◥蹱柼m）政府采購辦公室（OGP）正式設(shè)立于2013年，是由公共預(yù)算與改革部長和公共服務(wù)改革國務(wù)部長會同公共工程辦公室一起設(shè)立的。OGP的恢復(fù)是為公共采購帶來更加專業(yè)的整體政府采購達成途徑，以加強推動采購市場提高效率性、簡易性、連續(xù)性和標準化程度。其目標是在公共采購市場推動公平、透明和公開競爭，通過更為集中的公共采購實體機構(gòu)帶來持續(xù)的節(jié)約，為納稅人實現(xiàn)更多價值。
OGP的主要目標是匯總制定一體化的政府采購整體政策和戰(zhàn)略，將采購操作整合到一個辦公室內(nèi)，加強開支分析和數(shù)據(jù)管理；保證預(yù)算顯著節(jié)約并提高風險管理水平，加強供應(yīng)商履約執(zhí)行管理。
這個獎項的獲得是對以上改革措施和相關(guān)執(zhí)行工作的認可。上千的公共部門使用者從這一改革框架和通過OGP達成的合同中受益。
政府采購主任、OGP首席執(zhí)行官保羅·奎因在發(fā)表獲獎感言時說：“政府采購辦公室的使命就是為納稅人帶來持續(xù)的節(jié)約，我們正是這么做的，我們讓每個希望贏得政府合同的公司以一種公開、公平和透明的方式競爭。值此OGP第一個整年的運作即將結(jié)束之際，我非常高興我們迄今的工作在這個盛大的頒獎典禮上獲得首肯。我很高興借此機會發(fā)表感言，向大家匯報我們在OGP所做的那些工作，再次感謝所有公共部門的職員，他們積極參與，與OGP密切合作至今！
全國采購獎旨在鼓勵采購團隊和個人不斷提高職業(yè)門檻，鼓勵創(chuàng)新，努力進取，創(chuàng)造輝煌。評委擢選自國家、半官方和私營部門，根據(jù)制定的總體上很高的標準，克服重重困難，精心評選，最終確定了優(yōu)勝者。

The OGP was awarded the Public Procurement Excellence Award on Wednesday night’s National Procurement & Supply Chain Awards 2015. The awards ceremony was attended by procurement professionals from both the public and private sector.
Welcoming the award, Simon Harris TD, Minister of State with special responsibility for Public Procurement said, “The Office of Government Procurement is a major step forward in the way procurement is managed across the public service. Although the OGP is a relatively new organisation we can already see how it is helping to transform the procurement landscape. This award is testament to the hard work and achievements of the OGP”.
The Office of Government Procurement
The Office of Government Procurement (OGP) was officially launched in July 2013 by the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform and the Minister of State for Public Service Reform and the Office of Public Works. The remit of the OGP is to bring a more professional and whole-of-government approach to public procurement to drive increased efficiency, simplicity, consistency and standardisation in addressing markets. Its aim is to drive fair, transparent and open competition in the market place, while delivering sustainable savings and better value for the taxpayer through greater aggregation of purchasing public bodies.
The main objectives of the OGP are to integrate a whole-of-government procurement policy, strategy and operations into one office; to strengthen spend analytics and data management; to secure significant savings for the Exchequer and to improve the management of risk and supplier performance.
This award is an endorsement of the reforms and of the work that is underway to implement them. Thousands of Public Sector customers are benefiting from the frameworks and contracts delivered by the OGP.
Commenting on the awards, Paul Quinn, Government Chief Procurement Officer and CEO of the OGP said: “The OGP’s mission is to deliver sustainable savings for the taxpayer and we are doing this in a way that enables any business who wants to win a government contract to compete in an open, fair and transparent manner. As we approach the end of the OGP’s first full year of operation, I am pleased that our work to date has been recognised at this prestigious awards ceremony. I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the commitment and capability of those working in the OGP and to thank all our public sector clients for their positive engagement with the OGP to date”.
The National Procurement Awards aim to encourage procurement teams and individuals to constantly raise the bar, to innovate and to maintain their commitment to achieving excellence. The judges - drawn from the State, semi-State and private sectors - commented on the overall high standards which made choosing the eventual winners all the more difficult.
