Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps his Department takes to ensure that (a) Imagile Infrastructure Management and (b) other private finance initiative providers holding contracts with his Department are held to account for their performance.

Imagile Infrastructure Management does not hold any private finance contracts with this Department. The only private finance contracts entered into by this Department are the five private finance 2 contracts procured under the recent Priority School Building Programme. The Department actively manages and enforces those contracts to hold the providers under those contracts to account for their performance.
