Political landscape – an age of austerity Tories will savage building renewal The public sector must look to the example set by commercial organisations and eliminate the waste when it comes to the associated capital costs… “we need to apply that same (private- sector) spirit not just to the DCSF, but also to those who spend its money, such as the giant quango Partnerships for Schools, which lavishes billions on school building programmes but has actually built few schools. Millions of pounds are wasted on consultants, procurement processes and bureaucratic hoop-jumping when that money should be in the classroom. The cost of a single square foot of a new school built under this Government’s current bureaucratic regime dwarfs the costs incurred by almost any building in the private sector.” TES, 20 November 2009
