A network of independent, academy funding and estate strategy specialists
Warneford Consulting operates exclusively across the academy school sector and combines estate and funding specialist services to maintain, improve, and optimise our clients’ built assets, resulting in efficient, sustainable, and fit-for-purpose teaching and learning facilities.
Condition Improvement Fund (CIF) Bid Services
As a small consultancy, led by Tim Warneford, our focus is always on the quality of service we provide our clients as opposed to the quantity of clients. To maintain that level of quality and care, we cap the number of Condition Improvement Fund (CIF) submissions we undertake per year. We consistently achieve a high percentage of successful bids and find our clients return to us as their partner of choice for further submissions.
Energy Services
Working with sector leaders, Lloyds Bank, BCR, Green Net Zero, and a wide network of funding and installation specialists, Warneford Consulting and partners provide a one-stop-shop for schools looking to understand and reduce energy costs, report on carbon, and utilise their assets to generate renewable energy.
Income Generation
Warneford Consulting and partners support schools to identify and realise potential opportunities to utilise and leverage their facilities and generate much-needed income. Services include:
Asset Optimisation – suggesting potential partnering agencies as well as private businesses, to generate revenue from under-utilised external and internal facilities.
Section 106 Community Infrastructure Levy – working with highly specialised partners to identify development funding, we assist in negotiations with the local authority and other parties to secure funding for expansion and sports development projects.
Land Disposal – helping schools with surplus land attract appropriate developers and gain SoS approval for disposal, allowing capital receipts to be reinvested in the school estate.
Building Survey Services
Through our network of pre-qualified and RICS-accredited chartered surveyors, Warneford Consulting provides a broad range of surveying services, helping schools understand the condition of their assets and plan appropriately for their ongoing maintenance and compliance.
Services include; Compliance, Health and Safety Surveys, Condition Surveys, Planned Maintenance Programmes and Measured Surveys and BB103/4 analysis.
We also provide due diligence services for expanding trusts, supporting negotiating with Regional School Commissioners (RSC), local authorities, and other stakeholders.
