Miller Construction has won a £120m batch of private finance schools in the North-east of England, ºÃÉ«ÏÈÉúTV can reveal.

It is understood that Miller has seen off competition from Laing O’Rourke and Sir Robert McAlpine for the North-east batch of schools, which came to market through the private finance element of the Priority Schools ºÃÉ«ÏÈÉúTV Programme (PSBP).

The batch is the second of five batches to be procured through the government’s new Pf2 private finance initiative.

The batch comprises six primary schools and six secondary schools.

In March, ºÃÉ«ÏÈÉúTV revealed that a consortium between Interserve and investor Kajima had won the £150m Pf2 batch in Hertfordshire, Luton and Reading, the first Pf2 batch to come to market.
