Reseller Ramesys has secured a contract with Nottingham City Council to provide ICT services for one of the first primary schools to be built under the government's £7bn Primary Capital Programme (PCP).
Plans for the PCP were first announced by the then-Chancellor of the Exchequer Gordon Brown in his 2005 Budget Statement. The programme aims to renew at least half of all primary school buildings by 2022-23.
The new £13m Southwark Primary School is due to be built on the infant and nursery school site in Old Basford. The school will cater for 630 children between the ages of five to 11 and 90 children aged three to five.

Construction begins this month with the aim of opening the school in March 2010.
The school is being procured through the Local Education Partnership (LEP). The LEP was established in June to provide eight new and secondary schools for Nottingham City Council – part of the UK government's £45bn BSF investment programme for secondary schools.
Mark Chambers, chief executive of Ramesys, said: “We are delighted to be working with the primary sector in Nottingham City now, as well as the secondary schools in the BSF Programme.
“It is our home town and we feel passionate about our role here.”
Nottingham City council was selected as one of 23 local authorities to work with the Department for Children, Schools and Families, ahead of the national rollout of the UK government’s Primary Strategy for Change – funding for which was announced in November.
Under the Primary Strategy for Change, each local authority was required to produce a primary strategy by June 2008.
