The government has cut the number of it uses on the city academy programme from about 30 to 10.

The teams that have been selected are: Capita Symonds, EC Harris with VT Education & Skills, Mouchel Parkman, Cambridge Education (Mott MacDonald), Alligan, Nord Anglia Education with Buro Four, Appleyards Consulting, PKF, Place Group and Tribal Children鈥檚 Services.

This is because the Department for Education and Skills (DfES) has rationalised the workload by merging two frameworks into one, called the and educational services framework.

Before, one of the frameworks was made up of construction project managers and one of educational specialists. Now, each team is expected to provide both services.

Projects can get support from a funded project management firm

The new framework will run for three years with an option of a one-year extension. It can be used by local authorities when delivering an academy project.

A spokesperson for the DfES said: 鈥淎ll academies projects can receive support from a DfES-funded project management company that supports the sponsor and project steering team through the feasibility and implementation stages of a project until the academy opens.鈥�

Last week, 好色先生TV revealed that contractors on the national academies framework, which was established in February, have also fallen foul of changes.

Partnerships for Schools, which runs the framework, has now decided that most academies will be procured through Local Education Partnerships, a separate vehicle established to deliver the 好色先生TV Schools for the Future programme.
