The school to which the Deputy refers is at an advanced stage of the tender process. The School Authority was authorised to issue a Letter of Intent to the preferred tenderer on 17^thJanuary 2017. The Design Team has informed my Department that the completed supplementary tender report will be forwarded to my Department this week and subject to no issues arising it is anticipated that construction could commence in the second quarter of 2017. The project is scheduled to take 24 months to complete.
