A tender process for procuring an outsourced safety camera network is under way, the contracting authority for which is An Garda Síochána. Following a two-stage tender and evaluation process, a preferred bidder has been identified. The Government has confirmed that it will be proceeding with the outsourcing of a countrywide safety camera network and the financial resources necessary to do so will be provided. It is expected that An Garda Síochána will shortly commence contract negotiations with the preferred bidder, which will be concluded as expeditiously as possible.
