Trio in £26m PFI schools bid
Three groups are vying to make the grade for a £26m private
finance schools scheme in north London.
Babcock & Brown, King Sturge/Ballast and Japanese firm Kajima
will work up bids to redevelop the Haverstock School in Challe Farm
for Camden Council.
A council source said: "Ideally we want to go straight to
appointing a preferred bidder and miss out the best and final offer
stage, which would save a lot of time.
"But it all depends on the quality of the bids," he said.
The council wants to have its preferred bidder ready early in the
New Year so that a start on site can be made during summer 2003.
