IJ Online Seminar: UK's Priority Schools Building Programme Case Study: This webinar in the IJ Online Seminar Series analyses and explores the UK government's £3 billion Priority Schools Building Programme that was launched to replace the previous Building Schools for Future scheme.

The UK Government's 2010 comprehensive spending review resulted in cancellation of the entire BSF programme leaving an important segment of primary infrastructure in the lurch. While the PSBP was launched in 2011, its pace has been slow and many questions have been raised on the procurement and financing front especially at a time when the UK is in the midst of revising its PFI model. Our panellists discuss and attempt to answer those pertinent questions.

Key discussion points focused on: • The new programme itself -- What's different, reasons for delays? • James Review -- The report pointed out the shortcomings of the BSF programme, has the new scheme taken these into account? • Procurement concerns? • Long term lending -- will commercial banks be comfortable with lending long-term to such deals, will there be a renaissance of alternative financing sources (bonds, pension funds, institutional investors) in this sector?

Chair: Mark Richards, BLP

Panel: Kirk Taylor, Bilfinger Berger Chris Heathcote, Lloyds Laura Porter, Balfour Beatty Dominic Nathan, Assured Guaranty Nick, Deloitte.
