Condition Improvement Fund (commonly referred to as CIF), is an annual Government Scheme for Academies & Sixth Form Colleges who can apply for funding. This funding is designed to help upgrade and maintain their building fabric, mechanical & electrical systems to ensure they are in good condition to provide students and teaching staff with a suitable and safe working environment.

In addition, Academies and Sixth-Form Colleges rated good or outstanding by Ofsted, the Condition Improvement Fund also supports a small proportion of expansion projects to those who can demonstrate a need to expand.

All applications that seek new classrooms or other forms of expansion require detailed, expert, knowledge. Typically, you will be required to provide details of the design, cost and overall building programme.

At Roger Hannah, we can provide you with free specific detailed information pertaining to your Schools/Academies qualifying position allowing you, with the Governing Body, to make an informed decision and ultimately progress to the next stage of your CIF funding application.

• Write CIF bids, or support the writing thereof
• Obtain competitive quotations during the bid process
• Manage the project if the bid is successful

• And procure expert surveyors to ensure project safety once complete (structural, fire hazards, etc.)

With a high bid success rate, the team here at Roger Hannah are determined to help secure your CIF funding and ensure the success of the project.
