Caledonian And HLM Secure First Place On £300m ESFA Framework

Offsite construction specialist Caledonian has secured first place on a £300 million modular framework for the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA).

The company and its partner architects HLM have been appointed to first place on the ESFA Batch C Modular Framework, which involves delivering permanent, component based buildings and facilities for the ESFA's new secondary schools block replacement programme.

Being awarded first place immediately secures two projects with a combined value of £12m, with potential to realise further schemes within the £250m funding allocated to the lot.


Paul Lang, Chief Executive Officer of Caledonian, said: "Our success in this award comes from developing an exemplar design solution, working in partnership with Education specialist Architects HLM, to address the needs of the ESFA within their funding envelope whilst demonstrating our capability and capacity to successfully deliver such a capacious programme of work.

"An important factor in our appointment was our proven record of providing full turnkey design and build solutions, modelling our clients' requirements and managing stakeholder engagement. The Caledonian solution developed for this commission coupled with our standard processes, systems and in-house technology helps clients to reduce risk, save time and optimise the speed and efficiency benefits of offsite construction."
