The major building project for the school to which the Deputy refers, is currently at an advanced stage of Architectural Planning, Stage 2(b) - (Detailed Design), which includes the application for statutory approvals and the preparation of tender documents.
The Stage 2(b) report for the project has been reviewed and the Design Team has carried out a final review of all tender documentation and provided my Department with Design Team confirmations that this final review has been carried out.
The pre-qualification process, to select a shortlist of candidates to whom the project will be tendered, is ongoing and upon completion, my Department will be in contact with DDLETB with regard to the further progression of this project to the next stage of architectural planning, Stage 3 (Tender Stage).
Subject to no issues arising, a tender stage normally takes between 6 and 8 months to complete.
