Department of Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation

I am requesting the following information under the Freedom of Information Act, which is held by the Office of Government Procurement and comes under the remit of DPER. A copy of all submissions made to the Office of Government Procurement in response to its advertisement in March 2017 for new methods of collecting the TV licence fee I am making this request on public interest grounds, given that over €40 million is being lost each year due to evasion of the TV licence. I note that those submitting expressions of interest were told that "submissions received will be treated in confidence by the OGP but that they may be subject to disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act. Accordingly, respondents should clearly indicate in their submissions any information which is considered to be commercially sensitive."
