The Belfast Schools Strategic Partnering Agreement was a mission to create a public private partnership to modernise the school, library and youth club estate in the Belfast Area.
Client
Amey Venture and Belfast Education and Library Board
The Project
The modernisation of the estate was achieved through a series of long-term arrangements using various standard forms of contract. The first phase of the Strategic Partnership involved the procurement of five schools (one primary and four post primary) using the DBFOM option alongside two design and build nursery schools.
The projects are fully operational including a mixture of youth clubs, primary schools and libraries.
