Shepherd confirmed as one of two final bidders for Stockton BSF
Shepherd has won a place in the final stage of the competition for Stockton’s £180m Building Schools for the Future contract.
The scheme will see two new build academies constructed and the remodelling and refurbishment of seven mainstream secondary schools, two special schools and a pupil referral unit.
Shepherd will now compete to be preferred bidder, which will be announced later in the year.
The two remaining bidders will now work with the Council and representatives from the borough’s schools to further develop their ideas before submitting their final bids in the Autumn.
The Council will announce their preferred bidder towards the end of this year and work is expected to start on the first two schools, Bishopsgarth School and Ian Ramsey Church of England School in Spring 2011.
