Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 15 November 2022
330. Deputy Eoin Ó Broin asked the Minister for Education further to Parliamentary Question No. 244 of 15 September 2022, when the next bundle of projects is due to progress; the timeframe for the conclusion of the tender process; and the projected commencement and completion dates for the project. [56276/22]
View answerIt is intended that the project referred to by the Deputy will be included in the next bundle of projects to proceed to tender in Q4 2022 and will be tendered to my Department’s Design & Build Contractors Framework.
The tender process takes approximately 8-10 months. Once a Contractor has been appointed, it is anticipated that construction would commence shortly thereafter. The construction of a 1,000 pupil post primary school on a Design & Build programme would normally take some 70 weeks.
