The project to which the Deputy refers was authorised to proceed to tender in October 2016. This project is the second phase of accommodation for the school in question and will cater for an additional 650 pupils.
The Design Team has rerun the pre-qualification of suitable contractors and is currently finalising a shortlist of up to ten contractors who will be requested to tender for the project.
Subject to no issues arising it is anticipated that construction will commence in the summer of 2017 and the project is scheduled to take approximately 18 months to complete.
