The school building project referred to by the Deputy is being delivered under my Department’s Design and Build Programme.

My Department has completed the tender process for the establishment of a new framework of contractors for the delivery of a bundle of Design and Build projects. In June 2021, the school building project referred to by the Deputy was included in a bundle of projects which was tendered to the new framework.

The original date for the tender returns was the 8th September 2021, an extension of time was recently requested by the tenderers. My Department has agreed to this extension, the closing date for tenders has now been extended by four weeks.
