Bundle 1 of the Higher Education Public Private Partnership Programme, comprising six projects, is currently at preferred tenderer stage. The Enbarr Partnership has been appointed as preferred tenderer and the technical, legal and commercial work streams are currently ongoing, with financial close expected shortly. Construction activities will commence on all six sites after financial close.
Financial information relating to the projects remains confidential and commercially sensitive at this point in time. As with all PPPs, financial information will be published by the Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science at an appropriate juncture.
