The building project referred to by the Deputy is being delivered under my Department’s Design and Build Programme which tenders to pre-established frameworks of D&B contractors.
The Decision to Grant Permission subject to 29 no. conditions was received on 14th September 2020 from Cork Co. Co for the project and the Departments Project Management team are currently reviewing these conditions and working on the preparation of the tender documents for the tender and appointment of a Contractor.
In parallel with this process, my Department is currently in the process of establishing 2 no. Frameworks of Design and Build Contractors to which Design and Build projects can be tendered. Once these frameworks are established, it is intended that this project will be tendered as soon as possible, there is no fast track in the tendering process.
The Board of management and the school authorities will be kept informed as these parallel processes are progressed.
