The school to which the Deputy refers was one of ten projects announced in January 2009 to be re-tendered. In order to prepare for tender and to comply with the new form of Government contract, the project was required to submit a new Stage 2b (detailed design).

Following the receipt and clearance of the Stage 2b (detailed design) submission, the project was authorised to go tender in June and a tender report was received by the Department in late August. The Department wrote to the school in early September with its comments on the Tender Report and requested that a revised Tender Report be submitted.

This revised Tender Report has been received, and is currently being assessed. When this assessment is complete, the project will be considered for progression to the next stage i.e. the award stage.
