The major building project for the school referred to by the Deputy will be delivered under my Department's ADAPT Programme. 

ADAPT is an acronym for the "Accelerated Delivery of Architectural Planning and Tendering". 

The ADAPT Programme uses a professional external Project Manager to co-ordinate and drive the Design Team to achieve the best possible timeframe for the project through the stages of Architectural Planning, to Tender and Construction.

The tender process to appoint a Project Manager is now complete. 

My Department has recently contacted the school authority with an update regarding the Project Manager appointment and the upcoming tender process for the appointment of a Design Team.
