Two Bidders shortlisted for the Final Phase

Just two companies remain on the shortlist of firms bidding for Wandsworth's Building Schools for the Future contract.

Bovis Lend Lease Ltd and Willmott Dixon Ltd have been selected to go through to the final stage of the tendering process. A preferred bidder is expected to be chosen by the end of July 2010.

The two companies will enter into further dialogue with the council and will be asked to submit their final bids in the summer. They will produce detailed plans for investment in the two 'sample' schools, Southfields Community College and Burntwood School, and ICT investment across all the schools. Work will start in Spring 2011.
