I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that the procurement process for the acquisition of a second mobile scanner is progressing. The tenders have been evaluated, the project team responsible for procurement have decided on a supplier and have commenced the contract stage of the procurement process. The project plan envisages that the new scanner will be deployed by the end of this year.
