3. Background & buyer context

The National Transport Authority (NTA) is a statutory non-commercial body established under the Dublin Transport Authority Act 2008 and expanded by the Public Transport Regulation Act 2009. Its remit covers national transport functions, including public transport procurement, integrated ticketing, network development, licensing, managing rural transport programmes, bus infrastructure, a single public transport brand, regulation of small public service vehicles (taxis), statutory submissions on Regional Planning Guidelines, transport data collection, and enforcement of EU passenger rights. It also has specific Greater Dublin Area functions related to strategic planning, infrastructure investment, and traffic management.

This procurement is driven by the NTA's task to carry out camera-based enforcement initiatives, supporting Action 6 of the Phase 2 Action Plan 2025-2027 of Ireland’s Government Road Safety Strategy 2021-2030. Furthermore, the National Safety Camera Strategy (April 2026) identified a partnership between the NTA, Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII), and An Garda Síochána (AGS) as the preferred model for future camera enforcement. The NTA requires a Subject Matter Expert to support its role in delivering these strategic objectives. There is no existing Camera Enforcement SME at the NTA.
