View answerThe school building project to which the Deputy refers is currently at advanced architectural planning stage. The Department is in the process of setting up a new Design & Build Contractor Framework. It is expected that this framework will be established shortly and tenders will then be invited for this project. It is anticipated that tenders for the school in question will be invited in Q1 2018, with construction anticipated to commence in Q2 2018.
