Looking back on Building Schools for the Future

As I have blogged previously, the government's decision to scrap the Building Schools for the Future project cost Cornwall more than £500,000. Thanks to another Freedom of Information question, answered on Cornwall Council's website, we now know the details:

* Specialist advice was received from five consultants, total spend within the BSF project was £126,026.
* Financial advice was procured from PricewaterhouseCoopers, the contract value was £256,548 (inclusive of expenses)
* The Educational and Technical advice was procured through EC Harris, no contract was signed.
* ICT Advice was contracted with Novatia, the contract value was £216,929.
* KKP (Knight, Kavanagh & Page) were contracted to produce the Playing Pitch Strategy and Non-Playing Pitch Strategy. The contract value was £33,160 in total.
