The contracting authorities will be seeking an innovative private sector partner or partners to participate and invest in a new Public Private Partnership vehicle (a "Local Education Partnership" or "LEP") to be established jointly with some or all of the contracting authorities. The LEP will provide (or arrange for the provision of) "Partnering Services", which will include assisting the contracting authorities in the development and implementation of a strategic investment programme for educational facilities in and around the Cambridgeshire area consequent upon the funding provided under the UK Government's BSF Programme. Certain other facilities may also be included within the strategic investment programme, including those with a community, health and social care dimension. The Partnering Services will also include (but not be limited to) a range of design, other consultancy, facilities management and ICT installation and maintenance services (including, potentially, provision of WAN facilities), works of construction, and related provision of supplies, primarily but not exclusively in relation to Cambridgeshire County Council's education functions and the schools that it maintains. In some instances Partnering Services may be delivered through long-term PFI agreements with a separate special purpose vehicle ("SPV") established by the LEP. The Partnering Services will be provided by the LEP under a Strategic Partnering Agreement which will be for a period of 10 years with an option to extend for a further 5 years. The estimated capital value of the initial projects covered by this procurement is in the region of £100 million GBP. Further projects arising in subsequent BSF waves and from any additional services required within the scope of this contract may result in the total estimated capital value (including the initial projects) being approximately £700 million GBP. The County Council also reserves the right to include within the scope of the contract additional works such as primary and secondary school construction schemes relating to demographic growth in Cambridgeshire.
