The Design Team for this project has commenced the Pre-qualification process and the closing date for the e-tenders advertisement was the 6th October 2017. The Pre-qualification of contractors involves the compiling of a shortlist of contractors to ensure that there are a number of appropriate and suitable candidates who can undertake the works successfully. This process when commenced normally takes between 8 and 12 weeks to complete. The invitation to tender will issue to the shortlist of contractors when the pre-qualification process is complete. The anticipated construction period is 18 months as outlined in the pre-qualification notice.

A major school building project to provide new accommodation for the school referred to by the Deputy has recently been authorised by my Department to proceed to tender for the appointment of a Building Contractor. Assuming no significant issues arise during the tender process, my Department expects that the project will progress to site early in 2018.
