Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 14 May 2019
167. Deputy Brendan Ryan asked the Minister for Education and Skills when tenders will be invited from the shortlist of contractors for a school (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20619/19]
View answerThe major building project for the school referred to by the Deputy is currently at Stage 2(b) – Detailed Design.
The pre-qualification process to select a shortlist of suitable contractors has been completed and the Design Team is currently carrying out a final review of tender documentation.
Once this work is complete, my Department will be in contact with the Board of Management of the school with a view to progressing the project to tender stage.
A tender stage normally takes between 7 and 8 months to complete.
