View answerErnst and Young (EY) was appointed to undertake the external review of the SBCI following a competitive tender process. A request for tender was published on 08/01/2019 on eTenders, the Irish Government’s electronic tendering platform, inviting tenderers to submit a tender for the provision of these services.
