In relation to the information the Deputy requires on the procurement process for premises within 40km of Newbridge, County Kildare, the assessment phase has concluded and the standstill period has expired. Those bidders who have been ranked on the framework have been formally invited to join the framework from which contracts will be drawn down. Following confirmation that the bidders have accepted the invitation to join the framework, the locations of those successful premises will be confirmed. Pending the conclusion to this process, it is premature to speculate on the outcome of the process on the Towers Accommodation Centre after June 2019.
