Question 229: To ask the Minister for Education and Skills if the broadband contract for schools under the National Centre for Technology in Education is currently being advertised; the differences between the new tender and the previously awarded contract; if increased speeds at each school will be a priority for the new tender; if improved call out and repair times to each school will be a part of the tender; if a minimum speed for each school will be specified for each school; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

A request for tenders for broadband connectivity for schools is due to issue within the next month. As the request for tenders has not yet issued I am not in a position to go into detail on the specifics of the document.

No school will be provided with an inferior service to what is currently in place, and where possible improved services for schools will be awarded within budgetary constraints.
