Mr. Mark Griffin:

I do not have a figure for that but this was an open tender process. A number of companies bid. Capita's was the most economic and advantageous tender.

Interestingly enough, a lot of the money that would actually go on this is payment for the upgrade of public sector databases. The overall cost of the project is approximately €26 million. The public sector database upgrade costs about €9 million and another €8 million or €9 million will be paid to GeoDirectory for use of the geolocation data that will be used by Capita.
