209. Deputy Brendan Ryan asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he has received the pre-qualification report in relation to the building of a school (details supplied); if so, if it has been approved; when tenders will be invited for the project from the shortlist of contractors; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9483/19]
View answerThe major building project referred to by the Deputy is currently at Stage 2b – Detailed Design.
The pre-qualification process to select a shortlist of suitable contractors has been completed and the Design Team is currently completing work to ensure the new school building is NZEB compliant.
Once this work is complete the Department will be in contact with the Board of Management with a view to progressing the project to tender stage.
A tender stage normally takes between 7 and 8 months to complete.
