The major building project for the schools referred to by the Deputy is currently at an advanced stage of architectural planning Stage 2b (Detailed Design), which includes the application for statutory approvals and the preparation of tender documents.

The pre-qualification process to select a shortlist of suitable contractors for tender stage is currently ongoing.

The Design Team is currently assessing the expressions of interest. A pre-qualification report will be compiled and forwarded to the Department once this exercise is complete.

Once the pre-qualification process is complete the Department will be in contact with the Board of Management with a view to progressing this project to tender stage.

A tender stage normally takes between 7 and 8 months to complete.
