The make up and timing of further school bundles in my Department's PPP school building programme will be determined by my Department in consultation with the National Development Finance Agency (NDFA). The issues to be considered in the timing and bundling of these schools include site availability for each school, geographical spread and the estimated total cost of the proposed school bundle.

My Department is currently examining the suitability of a number of schools for inclusion in the 3rd Bundle of school projects to be procured via Public Private Partnership. This examination is nearing completion and I will be announcing the make-up of the 3rd Schools Bundle as quickly as possible.
