My Department published a tender for the supply of technical support and advice in respect of the SAFE Programme on the 5thof January 2018. My Department requires independent expertise; advice and support in the area of electronic card and chip technology to support work being undertaken under the SAFE / Public Services Card (PSC) Project on behalf of all public bodies. This expertise and advice is required at both the detailed technical level and the strategic level. This expertise is not available within my Department.The tender is for the provision of 175 days service over a five year period.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
