Following the recommendations of our 2012 review of the schools estate in Caithness, Highland Council embarked on a complete regeneration of the schools in the northern town of Wick. This comprised the creation of the new Noss Primary School under a design and build contract with hub North Scotland, and the replacement of Wick High School and two primary schools with a single 3-18 campus school under a hub/DBFM/PPP contract.
We subsequently advised the Council on the procurement of the 3-18 campus and associated community facilities. This DBFM/PPP procurement reached financial close with our support on 19 December 2014 and the new school is due to open in October 2016.
