Amharc ar fhreagraI am pleased to advise the Deputy that the process of appointing a Design Team for the school building project he refers to is at an advanced stage. Tender documents issued to consultants on 10th September last. The closing date for receipt of replies is 15th October 2007. Subsequent to the tender submissions being assessed, a number of documents will be requested from the preferred consultants namely, Tax Clearance Certificate, evidence of Certified Turnover and evidence of suitable Professional Indemnity Insurance. Once these documents are checked and deemed appropriate, contracts will be signed and architectural planning of the school project will commence immediately thereafter.
