Support services firm Interserve has been appointed to design, build, finance and operate a number of police buildings in west Yorkshire under a 拢150m PFI deal.

A consortium led by the contractor has reached financial close on the deal for West Yorkshire Police Authority and West Yorkshire Police, for which it was appointed as preferred bidder two months ago.

The work involves two new divisional headquarters and a specialist operational training facility as well as custody suites.

Interserve is also part of the preferred consortium for the new Alder Hey children鈥檚 hospital in Liverpool and is expected to provide facilities management services worth 拢50 million on that project.

The police divisional headquarters and custody facilities will be located in Leeds and Normanton while the training centre, which will include 鈥渟tate-of-the-art firearms training ranges, driver training and public order training facilities鈥�, will be in Wakefield.

Interserve and consortium partner Equitix will each invest 拢4.3 million in the project.

Adrian Ringrose, chief executive of Interserve, said of the police contract:  鈥淭hese police facilities represent a key element of regional infrastructure, so we鈥檙e obviously proud the authority has entrusted Interserve with creating and supporting them. We鈥檙e already heavily involved in the region, having worked here for many years.鈥�

A spokesman for West Yorkshire Police Authority added: 鈥淭he construction and operation of these new facilities will provide a timely boost for the local economy. At least 85% of subcontracts will be awarded to local companies, and at least 65% of construction staff will live locally. Interserve has also made detailed commitments to support skills and training for young people, including a firm commitment to support 85 young people across West Yorkshire to access apprenticeships.鈥�
