£187 million public-private partnership schools investment launched
The Midlands Priority Building Programme will see developer Carillion update substandard buildings at eight schools across Birmingham, Nottingham, Coventry, Sandwell, Derbyshire and Warwickshire. The construction will take place over a two year period, with Carillion also delivering facilities management and life-cycle maintenance.
Carillion Chief Executive, Richard Howson, said: "We are delighted to have achieved financial close on this important schools programme. Carillion is a market leader in the education sector, having delivered some 150 schools over recent years, many of which were Public Private Partnership projects. This latest project has been an excellent example of collaboration between the public and private sectors and we look forward to working with the Education Funding Agency to deliver state of the art facilities to support its objectives for creating outstanding learning environments for students.”
