Bidders
At the end of January the long-list of five bidders was reduced to a short-list of two through the evaluation of written submissions and presentations. The shortlisted bidders are:
- Catalyst Lend Lease – Bovis Lend Lease, Capita Symonds, Redstone Communications
- Transformational Learning Partnerships – Laing O’Rourke, Hochtief, RM Education
The two bidders will be competing to be the Preferred Partner who will redesign, rebuild and/or refurbish eight of the City’s secondary schools.
Throughout the spring, detailed discussions will take place with the two short-listed bidders, Salford City Council, Partnerships for Schools (PfS) and schools, so that bidders are able to develop their response to the Output Specifications. In this period, bidders will draw up detailed design solutions for the sample schools – Walkden High School and Irlam and Cadishead Community High School.
