The project at the school to which the Deputy refers is progressing and the research and design stages are substantially complete as is the tender documentation. Currently pre-tender cost estimates are being finalised in compliance with my Departments Design Team Procedures and public procurement requirements. 

The Pre-Qualification stage has also been completed and suitably qualified contractors have been selected.  On this basis, my Department expects the project to be able to proceed to tender this coming July.
