The procurement of an external design team for the development of Newcastle West Garda Station is currently being progressed with tender documentation at an advanced stage of preparation. It is expected that tender competitions will commence via the EU journal shortly and that a full design team will be in place by early next year with the necessary works in terms of design development, planning and tender documentation completed by the end of that year. The constructions works will be tendered via the EU journal and following award of a contract, are expected to take 18 months to complete.
