The school to which the Deputy refers is at an advanced stage of the tender process. The School was authorised to issue a Letter of Intent to the preferred tenderer on 31 January 2017. When the completed supplementary tender report is received and considered and assuming that no issues arise my Department will then revert directly to the school regarding progression of the project to construction stage.

The major building project to which the Deputy refers is currently at an advanced Stage of Architectural Planning, Stage 2(b) which includes applications for Planning Permission, Fire Safety Certificate, Disability Access Certificate and the preparation of tender documents.  All statutory approvals have been obtained.

Following the appointment of a replacement Mechanical & Electrical Engineer the Design Team in association with the replacement Engineer are working on a revised M&E report which will be submitted to the Department when it is completed. My Department will revert to the school with regard to the further progression of the project following consideration of that report.
