BSF - BUILDING SCHOOLS TOO FAST

摘要

The government's ￡45 million Building Schools for the Future (BSF) procurement process is 'intense, expensive and time-consuming' and to make matters worse, its 'contractors are going to want pay-back'. So says Capita Architecture director Richard Woods, who is working on BSF schemes in Lancashire and Nottinghamshire. But Woods is not talking about the schools currently being designed - although they have already drawn stinging criticism from CABE. He instead is worried about the schools which will be designed five years from now, once a public-private partnership called the Local Education Partnership (LEP), is in full flow.
