Written answers

The Department recently completed the review of the Stage 2(b) submission for the project referred to by the Deputy and comments have issued. Each member of the design team was requested to submit written confirmations that they have completed a final review and are satisfied that the tender documentation is fully compliant with the Department’s Technical Guidance Documents, Building Control (Amendment) Regulations and new Public Works Contract (PWC) tender documentation requirements.

These confirmations have recently been received and the Board of Management was authorised to commence the pre-qualification process to select a short-list of contractors for this project on 15 May 2018. Pre-qualification normally takes between eight and 12 weeks to complete. When pre-qualification is complete the project will then be progressed to tender stage.
