The building project for the school referred to by the Deputy is being delivered under my Department’s Design and Build Programme. The tender process to establish a new Design & Build Contractors Framework commenced on the 4th December 2019. The second stage of the tender process which involves the detailed tender for several schools has commenced and is expected to be concluded in Quarter 1 2021. The building project for the school referred to by the Deputy is included in the first bundle of projects currently being tendered to this new Framework.
It is my Department's intention that the construction of the new 1,000 pupil school will be phased to provide permanent accommodation as early as possible in the 2021/22 school year with the second phase of the new school being completed as early as possible in the 2022/23 school year.

My Department is currently in the process of establishing a Framework of Design and Build Contractors to which Design and Build projects can be tendered. The tender process to establish the new Framework commenced on the 4th December 2019. The second stage of the tender process which involves the detailed tender for several schools, including the school referred to by the Deputy, has commenced and is expected to be concluded in Quarter 1 2021. This is the earliest that the project can be tendered.
It is my Department's intention that the construction plan for the project will be phased to allow a level of permanent accommodation to be provided as early as possible in 2022.
