Miller Construction and Amey in PPP project

Miller Construction (UK) and Amey Asset Services are to revitalise and maintain Glasgow’s 29 secondary schools in a Public Private Partnership (PPP) project. The joint venture will be responsible for the lifecycle management of the school portfolio for the 30-year contract period.

11 new state-of-the-art secondary schools will be built over the next two years as well as extensions for eight existing schools, which will also be modernised, and ten schools will undergo refurbishment.

Deputy managing director of Miller Construction, Robin Mackie, said this latest deal demonstrates the success of Miller Construction’s commitment to teamwork and determination to add value.

Miller Construction has previously entered into partnerships with Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council to improve education facilities for two primary schools in Barnsley, and Durham County Council to construct two new schools in the County.

Mackie added: "Partnering requires a change of ethos and a move away from the traditional methods which have previously guided the industry."
