I refer to your recent correspondence regarding UCC's 2016 Financial Statements.

• Cork University Foundation

Following last years' Committees discussions, the University included a more expansive Disclosure Note ( Note 31) in the University's financial statements for 2016, which set out the total income received by the University from the Foundation together with the amount that remains within the Foundation as reserves for future disbursement to the University. The disclosure note sets out the full extent of support from the Foundation to the University. A full set of the Foundations financial statements is also enclosed and these will now be attached as part of the University's annual submission to Committee the going forward.

• Procurement

The University endeavours at all times to ensure it is compliant with public procurement policy across all its procurement activity. The University engages with the OGP and the EPS where appropriate and works with other Universities across the sector to secure the best pricing outcome from consolidation of expenditure.

It is this consolidation of tendering activity within the sector which is the most significant contributor to the amount reported - where UCC was a co-funding partner in a national tender with another University as the lead contracting entity. The lead University procured the service in a fully complaint manner. However, UCC inadvertently recorded this expenditure as non-complaint, as UCC, not being the lead for the tender, did not have the formal tender/contract record.

This has now being corrected for all future disclosures. Other instances relate to aggregation of low value purchases, rollover of ICT maintenance agreements in line with Departmental directives on such spend, unanticipated custom duties and urgent requirements e.g. blocked drains, which were unforeseen from a procurement perspective.

Going forward, the University has amended its reporting for sectoral expenditure and is progressively availing of both national frameworks and bespoke contracts to add to its existing contracted supplier base to increase compliance. A new procurement plan has been put in place for 2018 and beyond to address the remaining non-complaint issues.

Regards,

Gd/rtf]t: ~, Professor Patrick O'Shea, President.
