Amharc ar fhreagraAn invitation to tender was issued on the 10th May 2010 for consultants to assist in selecting a body to implement and manage the delivery of a working National Postcode System (NPS). These consultants have now been appointed and are working with my Department's Steering Group to introduce a six digit alpha numeric model that is also capable of being refined into a location based code. I intend to commence the tender process to select the body to implement and maintain the NPS in Q4 of 2010.
