Jarvis beats Kajima in race for £50m PFI schools project

Jarvis has turned the tables on Kajima to emerge as preferred bidder for a £50m PFI schools scheme in northern England.
Jarvis and the Japanese contractor were the only firms contesting Manchester City Council's grouped schools deal, after a third contestant, Vinci, turned its back on the project.
Last year, Kajima saw off Jarvis to clinch Darlington Borough Council's £25m education village deal. The scheme includes constructing a secondary school and two primary schools.
