The major building project for the school referred to by the Deputy is currently at an advanced stage of Architectural Planning - Stage 2(b) - Detailed Design, where the design team secure all statutory approvals and prepare the suite of tender documents.
The Design Team have recently made a revised application for statutory approvals and are completing any necessary revisions to the Stage 2b report, which will then be submitted to my Department for review.
Upon receipt and review of the Stage 2(b) Submission, the Design Team will then be requested to confirm to my Department in writing that their tender documents are in order and comply with all current Building and Procurement regulatory guidelines, and Department Technical Guidance documents, before the project is eligible to progress to tender stage.Department officials and the Programme Manager will keep the school authority informed in relation to project progression.
