This major building project for the school referred to by the Deputy is at an advanced stage of Architectural Planning, Stage 2b (Detailed Design).
The Stage 2(b) report has been reviewed by my Department and comments have issued to the Design Team who have been requested to carry out a final review of all of its tender documentation to ensure compliance with Department requirements and to submit written confirmation from each Design Team member when this work has been completed.
The pre-qualification process to select a shortlist of contractors in currently on-going.
Upon receipt of Design Team confirmations and completion of the pre-qualification process and subject to no issues arising, my Department will be in contact with the Design Team and school with regard to the further progression of this project to the next stage of architectural planning, Stage 3 (Tender Stage).
A tender stage normally takes between 7 and 8 months to complete.
