Suppliers and Partners

inspiredspaces set up the South Tyneside and Gateshead Local Education Partnership in January 2008 to deliver transformational educational facilities through the Building Schools for the Future project across STaG.

As set out in STaG’s procurement documentation, the LEP is a strategic partnership focussed around the delivery of the local authorities phased, long term local investment programme. The LEP is a company limited by shares with a majority shareholding from inspiredspaces, and shareholding by both local authorities and BSFi LLP (a body established by DCFS and PUK to invest in BSF projects).

inspiredspaces therefore is:

  • Working with the local authorities and other stakeholders to refine and develop its strategic investment plans for secondary education for the area;
  • Acting as the single point of contact for the procurement and delivery of all of the services likely to be required to deliver the investment programmes ranging from design, construction, project management, maintenance, ICT services, etc;
  • Integrating and managing a diverse range of supply chain sub contractors ranging from building contractors, FM services to ICT providers; and
  • Enabling the delivery of projects through a mix of procurement routes (i.e. PFI, conventionally funded and Lease Plus).

The LEP is a ten year partnership with an option for this to be extended by a further five years. The partnership covers the delivery of the core BSF projects and has exclusivity over education projects within STaG over £100k.
