The Supplier Will Be Responsible For Providing Services For The Delivery Of All Types Of Driver Theory Tests, Driving Licences And Learner Permits In Ireland. This New Contract Will Also Include Integrated Customer Support Services. Under This Integrated Dtts And Ndls Service Contract There Will Be A Requirement For A Consolidated Real Estate Network Of Authority Centres. Each Centre Will Integrate Both Dtts And Ndls Service Delivery, Allowing Them To Operate From Within A Single, Combined Facility. The Consolidation Aims To Create Efficiencies, Optimise Resource Utilisation, And Enhance Customer Experience And Convenience While Ensuring That High Standards Of Customer Service Quality Are Maintained. There Is A Requirement To Have At Least One Centre In Each County. These Centres Should Be Strategically Located To Ensure That 95% Of The Population Resides Within 50 Km Of An Authority Centre. Furthermore, Each Centre Must Be Within 0.5 Km Of A Public Transport Link, Facilitating Accessibility For All Customers. The Real Estate Network Should Be Designed And Established To Be Flexible That Can Adjust To Changes In Future Ndls And Dtts Service Demand Over The Contract Period.
