That tendering process is at the pre-qualification stage – the companies selected are expected to provide submissions detailing their bids to run the schemes before the end of September.

Meanwhile the NUI Galway scheme which we reported on here and here, is now open to registrations at grandscheme.co.uk/Galway and here’s a video NUI Galway released about their system:
