Interserve is set to deliver a £7.8 million contract for the Department for Education in Leicester.

The firm will design and build a new two-storey teaching block for Countesthorpe Leysland Community College (CLCC), consolidating the institution's estate onto one site following the merger of Countesthorpe College and Leysland High School.


The contract was awarded through the Education & Skills Funding Agency's (EFSA) priority school building programme.

Richard Scarrott, Divisional Director at Interserve, said: "The award of this contract follows our recent successful wins to redevelop the Cedars Academy in Birstall, and Hampton Lakes Primary School in Peterborough. This project will add to our portfolio of school work in the East Midlands, and once again exemplifies Interserve's experience, expertise and capability in building award-winning education projects across the UK."

Construction work is scheduled to start in October 2019, with completion scheduled ahead of the new school year in August 2020.
