The firm has reached a contractual agreement with Sheffield City Council as

as part of the Paradigm consortium led by Taylor Woodrow Construction. Civica
anticipates the contract to be worth £45m over all three phases of the nine-year
scheme.
The VAR has also won a contract with Essex County Council worth £3.3m over three

across the county.
Simon Downing, chief executive of Civica said: "We believe that both programmes
have the potential to transform the educational environment for the benefit of
all."
