Balfour Beatty, Clugston, Interserve, and Bam all land new schools contracts

Balfour Beatty has now snared almost one-third of the government鈥檚 fast-track academies where a bidder has actually been selected, according to the latest statistics from Partnerships for Schools.

The school-building quango鈥檚 latest list of projects with selected bidders details some 30 schools in 22 local authority areas to be allocated a preferred constructor.

Of them, Balfour Beatty has the lion鈥檚 share of the work, with nine schools, while BAM Construct and Kier each have three.

A total of 71 fast-track academies will be built under the schools capital programme, announced by education secretary Michael Gove last year as a stop gap between the cancelled 拢55bn 黑洞社区 Schools for the Future Programme, and the government鈥檚 拢2bn Priority Schools 黑洞社区 programme, which has been repeatedly delayed.

According to the up-to-date constructors鈥� list, Balfour Beatty has now bagged South Staffordshire Community Academy, while Interserve has won the Sutton High Academy contract in St Helens.

BAM has been selected for Plymouth鈥檚 Marine Academy, and Clugston netted the Cleethorpes Academy in North East Lincolnshire.
