Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform

The tender documentation for the development of the Leeson Lane Office Building Project is complete and is awaiting approval from the Sponsoring and Sanctioning Authority to issue tender documentation to prequalified contractors as required by the Public Spending Code and the Capital Works Management Framework. The tender issue process and assessment takes approximately four to six months. The construction period is two years. OPW do not normally disclose the cost of the project prior to tender for commercially sensitive reasons.
