View answerThe school referred to by the Deputy is at an advanced stage of the tender process. Unfortunately, the recommended bidder withdrew from the tender process after they had been offered the contract and subsequently a number of the shortlisted tenderers have withdrawn from the process. In accordance with procedures, the Design Team have proceeded to the next lowest tenderer to ascertain if they are willing to stand over their Tender.
If a Contract is awarded to this tenderer, it is envisaged that construction could commence late in Quarter 4 with a construction period of approximately 18 months.
