The major building project for the school referred to by the Deputy has recently completed Stage 2(b) Detailed Design. The National Treasury Management Agency (NTMA) report has been reviewed by the Department.
As the Office of Government Procurement (OGP) have implemented Revised Public Works Contract documents as of July 27th 2023, the Design Team have been requested to further review their tender documents, as the Stage 2(b) Submission for this project predates this revision.
The Design Team are to confirm to the Department in writing that they have made the necessary revisions to their tender documents.
In parallel, a revision to the Fire Safety Certificate is also being carried out.
Only upon confirmation that both of the above actions are complete will the project be eligible to progress to tender stage.
