330.

It is intended that the project referred to by the Deputy will be included in the next bundle of projects to proceed to tender in Q4 2022 and will be tendered to my Department’s Design & Build Contractors Framework.

The tender process takes approximately 8-10 months. Once a Contractor has been appointed, it is anticipated that construction would commence shortly thereafter. The construction of a 1,000 pupil post primary school on a Design & Build programme would normally take some 70 weeks.
