Process
The BSF process can be broken down into several stages.
Use the links to access more infomation about what happens at each stage, along with links to relevant BSF documents, guidance, recommended reading and lessons learned.
Detailed maps of the BSF process for local authorities are available to download from the Related Documents section. Further process information, including project plans are available in the BSF Guidance section of the Library
Advisory services
Partnerships for Schools (PfS) has procured national frameworks for advisory services to support local authorities in BSF to choose the right private sector partners to support them in delivering their local BSF programme. For more information, go to the Adviser frameworks page.
