The major building project for Whitecross NS has reached an advanced stage of architectural planning, Stage 2(b), which includes the pre-qualification of contractors and the preparation of tender documents.
In May 2017, the Department gave approval to the school authorities to have their Design Team commence the process of Pre-Qualification of Contractors and I am informed by the Design Team that this process is now complete.
The Design Team has informed my Department that it is currently working on completing a revised Stage 2 (b) submission which it expects to submit for review shortly. Upon review of the revised submission my Department will revert to the school with a timeframe for progression of the project to tender stage.
