The draft pre-qualification report was submitted to my Department for review in January 2019. The Department has issued comments to be actioned by the Design Team with regard to finalising the process.
When this review is complete the project will then be progressed to tender stage, which normally takes between 7 and 8 months to complete.
This project is included in the Department of Education and Skills' six-year construction programme.
