On 24 May 2012, the Secretary of State for Education, my right hon. Friend the Member for Surrey Heath (Michael Gove), confirmed that 261 schools will be rebuilt, or have their condition needs met through the Priority School Building Programme (PSBP).
The programme will be delivered by grouping schools together into “batches”. The process to group the schools has taken into account a number of factors including condition, geography and commercial viability i.e. ensuring that there will be a strong competition for the work which will deliver value for money for the public purse. As far as possible, the needs of the schools in the worst condition will be addressed first.
This is a significant programme of rebuilding and it will be delivered over a number of years.
The DFE is already working with the schools who we expect to form the first 11 batches. For the first two batches of schools, the business cases have been prepared and approved, contractors have prepared tenders and the DFE has evaluated these tenders and selected the contractors who will undertake the works. Planning applications will be submitted in the next few weeks and construction work will start in the summer.
At present we can only estimate the number of schools that are scheduled to start construction by 31 December 2013 and therefore those that will start construction after 31 December 2013. There are a number of factors that influence this including changes that have been requested locally to the capacity of schools, existing site conditions and constraints and how contractors will schedule their works to deliver best value for money.
We plan to have approximately 20 to 25 projects on site by the end of this year and a large number of procurements for other schools in progress.
