The Department recently authorised the design team to begin the pre-qualification of a shortlist of main building contractors in anticipation of the project progressing to tender and construction stage. Thereafter, the project will proceed to tender to the shortlist of suitably qualified contractors. Tender stage on a project of this size normally takes between 6 and 8 months to complete. The Department has advised the school authority that a date for the commencement of construction on the project will be determined as part of the detailed plan for 2013 which will be published in late 2012.
