The project referred to by the Deputy has reached commencement of the final contract award stage of the tender process. The assessment of tenders has concluded and the Letter of Intent (LOI) issued on the 15th February 2022 to the preferred tenderer.
This allows the preferred tenderer to put in place the Bond, Insurances, and confirmations of all legal arrangements required under the Contract.
Following receipt of all the necessary documentation, the Department will be in a position to issue the Letter of Acceptance (LOA), which will allow the contractor to mobilise on site.
My Department will advise the school authorities when the Letter of Acceptance issues. Once a Contractor has been appointed, my Department will keep the school informed of the construction programme underpinning the contract.
