Capita Business Support Services Ireland Limited were awarded a 10 year contract in December 2013 to develop and implement the National Postcode System. My Department has been advised by Capita that they have no plans to launch an alternative code along the lines outlined in the Question. The carrying out of business by Capita, its former employees or its sub-contractors is a matter solely for them so long as it does not infringe any of the terms of the contract between the Department and Capita for the National Postcode System.
