The Design Team for the project referred to by the Deputy is currently finalizing the tender documentation and the prequalification of contractors list with a view to proceeding to re-tender shortly.

The project remains on the Department's Construction Programme and will be progressed through a new tender process over the coming months. The new tender process will provide both the school and the Department with greater certainty with regard to the appointment of a Contractor to commence the construction of the new school in 2015. The dates for the events referred to by the Deputy will only become apparent as the tender process is progressed but the school authority will be kept fully informed regarding these developments as they occur.
