The school building project referred to by the Deputy is being delivered under my Department’s Design and Build Programme. The project is currently at Stage 2b – Detailed Design which includes obtaining all statutory approvals, preparing a set of fully detailed Tender documents, and preparing an accurate pre-tender cost plan.
My Department is also currently nearing the completion of a tender process for the establishment of a new framework of contractors for the delivery of a bundle of design and build projects. It is expected that in Quarter 2 of 2021, this school building project will be included in a subsequent bundle of projects to be tendered to the new framework.
Pending delivery of the permanent building project, my Department will continue to address the interim accommodation needs of the school on its permanent site.
