Education
The Department for Education (DfE) allocates funding each year to help maintain and improve the condition of school buildings and grounds and In any given financial year, eligible schools can access funding through the below.
- School Condition Allocations (SCA), with funds paid to eligible bodies responsible for maintaining school buildings.
- The Condition Improvement Fund (CIF), a bidding round with funds paid directly to single academy trusts, small multi-academy trusts (MATs), small voluntary aided (VA) bodies and sixth-form colleges.
The Condition Improvement Fund's (CIF) core priority is to support condition projects and the focus of the fund is to keep schools and colleges buildings safe and in good working order. Most CIF funding, aims to address building issues with significant consequences that revenue or Devolved Formula Capital (DFC) funding cannot meet. These include issues with poor building condition, building compliance, energy efficiency or health and safety.
Our continuous success within CIF is lead by our experienced BID writer and Managing Director Jason Meredith who ensures that you as our client get the very best from what can be a difficult and complex process. We work exclusively with Chartered Surveyors and Chartered Architectural Technicians to ensure our Academies and Trusts get the very best support from the outset to enhance, improve and maintain their buildings to ensure that a sustainable, enriched teaching facility is the end product.
We have a joint vested interest approach; therefore, it is not just a form filling exercise for us. We are invested in the process and care about obtaining the funding to enhance and improve your school environment.
With our pre-qualified supply chain who are education specialists, we will look to undertake the works with the least amount of disruption for you.
Our goal, is to ensure that from inception to completion we provide a quality service and an end product that is on time and on budget.
