| Description: | On 24 May 2012, the Secretary of State confirmed that the Priority School Building Programme (PSBP) would rebuild, or meet the condition needs of 260 schools. The programme will address the needs of 214 schools through capital grant and 46 schools through private finance. To ensure value for money for the public sector, the schools have been grouped together in batches to make projects that will be commercially attractive and drive strong competition. Under the capital funded element of the programme the batches are being procured using the EFA Contractors Framework and the EFA Regional Framework. The following objectives have been agreed for the capital funded element of the PSBP: 1. to rebuild or meet the condition needs of 214 schools, prioritising those in worst condition using capital funding; 2. to build more for less; 3. to use a centralised procurement model in order to drive efficiencies in procurement, time and ensure that a quality solution is obtained at the lowest cost; and 4. to gather data that will enable the efficient delivery of future school buildings e.g. data on cost, timelines, energy usage etc. |

| Variance text: | In response to the recovery of the construction market we have slowed down the release of schools to the market to ensure that we can drive best value for money. We are continually reviewing our market strategy and are still on track to hand over the majority of the new or refurbished buildings by the end of 2017, two years earlier than originally planned. |
