The printing contract for the 2011 census was part of a comprehensive census tender which was published on etenders in April 2009. The tender covered the software solution for the processing system, which was based on the system used for the 2006 census, the provision, installation and commissioning of the necessary hardware to carry out the processing and the printing of the census forms and enumerator record books. Following an open public tender the contract was awarded to a UK company, CACI UK Ltd in July 2009. The printing of the census forms and enumerator record books was sub-contracted by CACI to an Irish based printer DCK Ebrook.
