Dear Mr Noggin, 
  
Thank you for your request for information, which was received on 16
January 2023. You requested:  
 
“Dear Department for Education,
I would like to understand what schools have been built l under direct
contracts from the Department for Education (DfE) that have handed over or
started on site since January 2016 and by whom. Can you please provide an
Excel schedule of:
i) Project Name / School
ii) Start Date (Year only)
iii) Appointed Contractor
iv) Relevant DfE Framework (if applicable)
Ideally I would like to understand an indicative size of project (£m)
however if this is commercially sensitive then please ignore this
request.”

Your request is being handled under the Environmental Information
Regulations 2004 (EIRs). The EIRs apply to requests for environmental
information, which is a broad category of information defined in
regulation 2 of the EIRs. Public authorities are required to handle
requests for environmental information under the EIRs. They give similar
access rights to the Freedom of Information Act 2000.
  
I would like to offer my apologies for the delay in responding. The
Department takes very seriously its obligations, including the requirement
to respond within the statutory deadline of 20 working days. I am afraid
that we have not been able to maintain this standard in this instance, and
while there may be considered to be mitigating circumstances, this delay
is not acceptable. I am very sorry for any inconvenience it may have
caused you.  
  
Your request is currently being dealt with and you will receive a response
shortly. 
  
If you have any queries about this letter, please contact us. Please
remember to quote the reference number above in any future
communications.   

Yours sincerely
Capital Correspondence Team

Dear Mr Noggin,

Thank you for your request for information, received by the Department for
Education (the department) on 16 January 2023. You requested:

I would like to understand what schools have been built l under direct
contracts from the Department for Education (DfE) that have handed over or
started on site since January 2016 and by whom.

Can you please provide an Excel schedule of:

i) Project Name / School

ii) Start Date (Year only)

iii) Appointed Contractor

iv) Relevant DfE Framework (if applicable)

Ideally I would like to understand an indicative size of project (£m)
however if this is commercially sensitive then please ignore this request.

Firstly, I would like to again apologise for the delay in responding to
your request for information. We have received your request for an
internal review of the timeliness of this case, however following this
response we will not proceed with the internal review unless you contact
us to request one.

I have dealt with your request under the Environmental Information
Regulations 2004 (EIRs). The EIRs apply to requests for environmental
information, which is a broad category of information defined in
regulation 2 of the EIRs. Public authorities are required to handle
requests for environmental information under the EIRs. They give similar
access rights to the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

The department holds information in scope of your request. Please find
attached contractual information for:
 

• Free school projects – these include schools approved in the
department’s central application rounds. We have interpreted your
request to include the main contract for the permanent build of each
school project. Some projects may have multiple contracts, for example
where temporary accommodation is necessary.
• PSBP – these include schools that have had buildings rebuilt or
significantly refurbished under the Priority Schools Building
Programme (PSBP). We have interpreted your request to include the main
contractor for each school project. Some projects may have multiple
contracts, for example where temporary accommodation is necessary.
• We have not included PSBP-funded projects that were delivered locally
by Responsible Bodies, as the department was not the client for these
projects.
• SRP – these include schools that will have buildings rebuilt or
significantly refurbished under the School Rebuilding Programme (SRP).
We have interpreted your request to include the main contractor for
each school project. Some projects may have multiple contracts, for
example where temporary accommodation is necessary.

School Improvement Budget (SSICB) Programme.
