Contractors will be offered the chance to join a new £5bn National Academies framework deal.
Partnerships for Schools (PfS) will advertise the new framework next year, in time to replace the current four-year National Academies framework which expires in 2010. It is thought PfS is considering a number of options to cut bid costs on the new framework. There are also plans to include larger Building Schools for the Future (BSF) schemes worth up to £200m under the current framework. The six members are Balfour Beatty, Carillion, Kier, Laing O'Rourke, Skanska, and Willmott Dixon. |
