As the individual contracts will be awarded to different contractors it would not be possible at this time to identify individual projects as priorities across the above listing. The tender process means that all projects will be tendered under the same timeframe with receipt of all ten tenders on the same date.
Once individual Contractors are appointed the priority in each case will be to ensure that the schools are constructed in the shortest possible timeframe consistent with achieving the highest quality buildings in accordance with design and contractual requirements. As Contractors are appointed, the Department will keep each school informed of the construction programme underpinning the contract.
That being said, as Carrigtwohill is a campus and will be awarded to a single Contractor, the Department has identified the Community College as requiring priority in the construction programme for that campus.
