198. Deputy Sean Fleming asked the Minister for Education and Skills the date the project manager framework was established in respect of schools to be delivered under the ADAPT programme in respect of schools (details supplied); when the tender process will commence to appoint a project manager for the programme; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraA building project for the school referred to by the Deputy is included in my Department’s Construction Programme which is being delivered under the National Development Plan.
A project brief has been finalised and the project will be delivered via the ADAPT programme which is an innovative delivery programme first introduced by my Department in 2016. It uses a professional external Project Manager to coordinate and manage the respective design teams on each project.
In this regard, a tender exercise to establish a Project Manager framework was concluded on 10th April 2019. A tender competition to the newly established framework to appoint the Project Manager for the ADAPT programme will commence shortly.
My Department recently wrote to the school to provide an update on the status of the project.
