I propose to take Questions Nos. 334 and 336 together.

The project for the school in question is currently part of a dispute resolution mechanism under the contract.

My Department is liaising with the school authority in relation to the conciliation process regarding the matters that were in dispute with the former contractor. My Department is also working on the arrangements for the completion of this project as quickly as possible by a new contractor.

Given both the legal and procurement matters involved, it is not appropriate at this stage to provide the detailed cost information requested by the Deputy as it is an integral part of the overall tender and the Contract awarded.
