<p>As set out in the Construction Playbook, the Department for Education (DfE) has
committed to use Project Bank Accounts (PBAs) on its school construction projects
unless there are compelling reasons not to. PBAs are just one way that government
departments support fair payment as part of the Government’s Prompt Payment Code.</p><p>DfE
has considered the use of PBAs for school construction projects delivered through
the DfE Construction Frameworks. However due to the specific nature, size and volume
of DfE’s school construction projects, the DfE has assessed that it is not practical,
efficient and cost effective to use them on our construction projects. Therefore,
there are compelling reasons not to deploy PBAs on DfE projects. Accordingly, the
DfE does not hold any information on the use of PBAs for its school construction projects
as the DfE does not currently use PBAs.</p>
