My Department has an annual contract for support and maintenance of a proprietary system developed by a company named Capita IB Solutions (Ireland) Ltd. for the Department in 2012. The annual value of the contract is €16,119 with a further €32,000 of enhancements delivered in 2017. The system provides for the online delivery of certain Consular services. The maintenance and support contract is due for renewal in April this year. The Department has no contract with any other firm named Capita or a variation of that name.
