In common with other Government agencies, the Property Registration Authority procures a range of specialist services from external contractors. While provided externally, these contracts would not in the normal course of events be characterised as 'outsourcing' of core functions. These services includes such matters as; provision of training courses, waste-management/cleaning, building maintenance, microfilming and file storage, secure mail delivery, translation and telephonist services. Software maintenance and development services are also procured from appropriate expert external providers, including substantial development, imaging and data capture services in connection with the Digital Mapping Project. The total value of the imaging, digital mapping and folio data capture projects is €11.246m over the period 2004 to 2010, excluding license costs.
