Capita Business Support Services Ireland Limited has been approved by Government as the company which will develop, roll-out and operate the National Postcode System.That selection was made following the conclusion of a public procurement process.
All proposals received as part of the procurement process were fully evaluated.Three parties qualified for the final phase of the procurement. The Department subsequently received two final bids from consortia led by Capita and An Post. Landmark, a UK company, withdrew from the process at the final tender stage.
