The Department for Education<\/a> has selected Interserve <\/a>to design and build the new \u00a34.1m Merritts Brook Primary School in Frankley, Birmingham<\/h2>\n

Interserve Construction will be responsible for the demolition of the existing building and its replacement on the same site. The Merritts Brook Primary School in Frankley will cater for children aged 3 to 11.<\/p>\n

Merritts Brook Primary School is a one-form entry primary school situated in a social-economically deprived area. The existing buildings are in poor condition and in need of replacement.<\/p>\n

Interserve Construction\u2019s appointment as preferred bidder follows a successful competitive tender through the EFSA medium band framework, recognising the company\u2019s experience and capabilities in delivering educational facilities<\/a> in the UK.<\/p>\n

Simon Butler, regional director at Interserve Construction, said: \u201cOur appointment as preferred bidder by the Department for Education to build the new Merritts Brook Primary School further cements our position as one of the leading construction companies serving the UK education sector.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe win is a real testament to the expertise and had work by our team in the West Midlands and we look forward to commencing on site in the autumn to deliver another great educational facility.\u201d<\/p>\n

The team are set to start on site in August 2020 with project being handed over in the summer 2021.<\/p>\n

Projects in the West Midlands<\/h3>\n

The Merritts Brook Primary School contract win is the third this year in the West Midlands, following Interserve Construction\u2019s recent success in being named preferred bidder two other EFSA funded schools on the EFSA 2017 Framework.<\/p>\n

Interserve Construction\u00a0was named preferred bidder for the new Saddleworth School<\/a> in Oldham on 25 March.<\/p>\n

The new school will be designed to accommodate the growing needs of both pupils and the local community and it will be tailored to meeting and exceeding the needs of modern school education provision.<\/p>\n
