Published on 28 September 2004

The Department of Education and Science, together with Jarvis Projects Ltd, developed a public private partnership (PPP) for the construction of five second level schools, and for the maintenance and running of the school buildings over a 25-year contract period. The report presents the findings of an examination that looked at how the Department managed the project, and how it evaluated the proposals received from potential private sector partners and the value for money offered by the final agreed deal. It also looked at the lessons learned from the project, both for the future provision of second level schools and for other PPP projects.
