The process of Pre-Qualification of contractors for the project in question is underway. For this particular project, pre-qualification of reserved specialists for the mechanical and electrical works is also required. The Pre-qualification process culminates in the compilation of shortlists of suitable candidates for each respective discipline.

The shortlist was submitted to my Department for review on January 11^th2019.

When this review is complete the project will then be progressed to tender stage which normally takes between 7 and 8 months to complete.

This project is included in the Department of Education and Skills' 6 year construction programme.
