In July 2017 the Stage 2b (Detailed Design) for this project was approved, pending the completion of the process to carry out a short-listing of suitably qualified building contractors and sub-contractors. The relevant short-listing contract notices were posted to the Official Journal of the European Community (OJEU) and the Government's E-tenders website on 27th September and 8th October respectively.
My Department anticipates that, following the tender process to appoint a Building Contractor, this project will go on site and commence construction in the first half of 2018.
