The Department for Education is to use existing frameworks to procure £400m of school repairs works. The DfE revealed announced that 261 schools, from 587 applicants, will be either rebuilt or have their “condition needs met” under the Priority Schools Building Programme. It said 42 of the schools most in need will be started with a £400m of funding direct from government, reported Construction News.
While the DfE confirmation will provide some of the extra clarity that many contractors have been calling for this week, it will also come as a blow to major firms that are not on the existing contractors’ framework.
Contractors likely to be chasing the work include Balfour Beatty, Bam Construction, Carillion, Interserve, Kier, Laing O’Rourke, Morgan Sindall, Sir Robert McAlpine, Skanska, Wates and Willmott Dixon.
