The major building project for the school referred to by the Deputy is at an advanced stage of architectural planning, Stage 2(b) - Detailed Design.

A legal challenge to the pre-qualification process for the main contract from one unsuccessful contractor has recently been struck out and it is expected that a new invitation to pre-qualify will issue this month on the e-tenders platform.

My Department is currently reviewing its pre-qualification documentation and is engaged in consultation with the Chief State Solicitors Office and with the Attorney Generals Office regarding the revised process and documentation.

A small number of projects at Stage 2(b) awaiting authorisation to commence/re-commence the pre-qualification process are currently awaiting the completion of the review.
