The school to which the Deputy refers, was approved a project under my Departments Additional Schools Accommodation (ASA) scheme for the provision of 1 mainstream classroom.The project was devolved to the school for delivery. My Department approved the project to Stage 2b (planning stage) however the school progressed onwards to Tender without prior approval from Department officials. I can confirm that my Department has now received the Tender report which is currently being reviewed from both a technical and cost perspective in accordance with the requirements of the Public Spending Code. My Department will be in contact with the school directly once its review of this report has been completed, regarding next steps to progress the project.
