A tender notice advertised by the Houses of the Oireachtas to purchase 300 tablet computers for TDs, senators and some staff has been withdrawn.
In a statement sent to potential tenderers, the Houses of the Oireachtas said it was withdrawn after a "Framework Agreement for the Supply of Data Communications and Services" was established by the Department of Public Expenditure.
The Houses of the Oireachtas are now required to follow this framework.
No indication was given as to whether or not the purchase of the devices will go ahead under the new agreement.
