– Scottish Parliament written question – answered at on 5 March 2007.
Question S2W-31904
To ask the Scottish Executive what steps have been taken to investigate the design quality of schools and other public buildings financed through PPP and how they compare in this respect with public buildings financed through traditional and alternative routes and what the conclusions were of any such investigations.
The Scottish Executive encourages local authorities to evaluate all new school buildings, however procured, to assess how well the design and facilities are meeting the needs of users, and to take account of and share lessons learned.
The Executive has not carried out any investigations of the type described. Authorities have the same degree of control over the design brief and specifications as to quality, whatever the procurement method.
