The school to which the Deputy refers is at an advanced stage of the tender process. The revised Tender Report was received in my Department in February 2016. Earlier this week, my Department authorised the School Authority to issue the letter of intent to the preferred tenderer. When the completed supplementary tender report is received and considered my Department will revert directly to the school regarding progression of the project to construction stage.

I can confirm that the school in question has submitted an application to my Department for capital funding for the provision of additional accommodation. My Department expects to be in a position to convey a decision on the application to the school in the coming weeks.
