The school to which the Deputy refers is at an advanced stage of the tender process.

The school was authorized to issue a Letter of Intent to the preferred tenderer on 14th March 2017.  The completed supplementary tender report from the school and its design team will be submitted to my Department in the coming weeks and following its review and subject to no issues arising it is anticipated that construction will commence in the third quarter of 2017.  The project is scheduled to take 25 months to complete.
