• This section of the Report will set out a list of the school projects delivered as part of the PPP1 project and describe the various organisational structures and the allocation of responsibilities in relation to the management, procurement, funding, design, construction and operation of the PPP1 schools. The project structure is shown in Diagram 1 below.
• Between 2002 and 2005, 17 new or refurbished and extended schools in Edinburgh were completed as part of a public private partnership arrangement, PPP1, between the City of Edinburgh Council and ESP, the special purpose private sector company formed to deliver the project. Oxgangs School was one of a second phase of four PPP1 projects following a first phase of 13 projects, making up the total of 17 projects.
• The initial submission from ESP in relation to the PPP1 schools project was headed by Amey Ventures. This organisation acted as the consortium sponsor that put together the various members of the consortium and their supply chain members.
