Four contractors are lining up for a £10m-plus PFI schools scheme in Croydon, south London.
Hoping to make the grade are: MJ Gleeson; Norwest Holst; Galliford Try; and Jarvis.
Croydon council wants a new secondary school for 1,200 pupils plus a community library. The winning contractor will be asked to design, build, fund and offer repair and maintenance services for up to 30 years. The concept behind the Ashburton Learning Village is to link technology to education and give pupils an opportunity to see this at close quarters.
"It is most important," said the council's project manager Adrienne Bloch, "that the contractor is able to deliver our aspirations."
Ten companies were long listed. The new school is scheduled for opening in September 2004.
