The joint major building project for the schools referred to by the Deputy will be delivered under my Department's ADAPT Programme. ADAPT is an acronym which stands for the "Accelerated Delivery of Architectural Planning and Tendering".
The ADAPT Programme uses a professional external Project Manager to co-ordinate and drive the Design Team to achieve the best possible timeframe for the project through the stages of Architectural Planning to Tender and Construction.
Since their appointment in May 2022, the Project Managers and my Department have been engaging in fortnightly briefing meetings in respect of all the major school building projects included in this Programme, including these 2 schools.
As part of their familiarisation review, the Project Managers have also recently visited the 2 schools. The process to appoint a Design Team will shortly be put in train by the Project Manager.
