The problem facing the Stoke Schools is not an isolated issue; PFI expiry presents significant challenges for the wider public sector. As contracts come to an end, schools and local authorities must navigate complex legal, financial, and operational considerations to ensure a smooth transition.

If not managed properly, PFI expiry can leave public institutions burdened with unexpected costs, unresolved maintenance issues, and contractual disputes, all of which could negatively impact the learning environment and financial stability of the schools.

To mitigate these risks, it is essential to ensure that school estates are handed back in optimum condition, meeting all contractual obligations while avoiding unnecessary financial strain on the public sector. Proper planning, strategic negotiations, and proactive maintenance are crucial in securing a cost-effective and sustainable handover.

Inscyte remains committed to supporting its clients through every stage of the expiry process and we aim to get the best outcome possible for the public sector community.
