Funding & Bid Director
AEC is proud to have helped colleges secure funding to increase post-16 capacity and expand construction skills training provision.
AEC achieves 100% funding success
Through these programmes, £287 million has been allocated nationally for 87 capital projects, creating more than 22,000 additional learner places across England.
The successful schemes will enable colleges to adapt and enhance existing buildings, workshops, and teaching environments to accommodate growing learner numbers and evolving curriculum requirements. Refurbishment and reconfiguration will form an important part of many schemes, alongside new build projects where additional capacity is required.
This achievement reflects the strength of our technical advice, estate planning, and capital funding expertise, together with the robust evidence and project strategies developed in partnership with our clients.
We now look forward to working alongside our successful clients through the next stages of project delivery, while continuing to assist colleges within devolved funding areas to secure investment through upcoming funding programmes.
