High Oakham Primary School in Mansfield has been awarded a £2.5 million refurbishment contract as part of Nottinghamshire County Council’s School Building Improvement Programme. Scheduled to begin later this year, the project will involve critical upgrades, including a new roof, lighting, ceilings, and fire alarm systems. These improvements ensure the school meets modern safety standards and supports a productive learning environment.
Arc Partnership, a joint venture between Nottinghamshire County Council and SCAPE, will manage the project’s design and delivery. They will use their expertise in public sector construction to oversee cost management and project execution. This partnership highlights the growing trend of public-private collaborations in large-scale infrastructure projects.
The project is expected to create significant opportunities for local subcontractors in the construction, design, and materials sectors, potentially boosting the local economy. The refurbishment aligns with the council’s ongoing efforts to invest in public sector buildings, demonstrating a commitment to improving facilities while offering businesses the chance to engage in high-value public contracts.
