The purpose of these meetings is for the Authority to gauge the market place, note that the Authority will not be in a position to share details of the forthcoming procurement process.

The information received in this consultation shall enable the NTA to make an informed decision on its requirements for such a trial/roll out. The NTA is currently planning to run trials of DRT in Ireland in different settings: e.g. A suburban area of Dublin that would benefit from DRT services • Use of DRT technology to enhance an existing DRT system, such as Local Link.
The NTA is expected to commence the process to tender for a trial supplier(s) and possible roll out prior to the end of Q2 2023.
