The process of Pre-Qualification of contractors for the project in question is underway. The Pre-qualification process culminates in the compilation of short-lists of suitable candidates for each respective discipline.
The short-list was submitted to my Department for review on January 11th 2019. On January 17th the Department reverted to the Design Team with a number of items to be actioned with regard to finalising the process. An updated report was submitted to my Department on March 22nd 2019 and the Design Team has now been authorised to complete the pre-qualification process.
When the Pre-Qualification process is completed the project will then be progressed to tender stage which normally takes between 7 and 8 months to complete.
