Three firms have been shortlisted for the final batch of private finance schools to come to market through the government’s Priority Schools Building Programme.

The Education Funding Agency said today it had shortlisted three bidders for the £150m batch of private finance schools in the Midlands:

  • Bam
  • A joint venture between Carillion and Equitix
  • A joint venture between Interserve and Kajima

The Midlands batch is the last of five batches to be procured through the government’s new Pf2 private finance initiative and comprises eight secondary schools.

Earlier this month Building revealed that Miller Construction had won a £120m batch of private finance schools in the North-east of England.
