Linklaters has comprehensively advised the Scholen op Maat (SOM) consortium on an innovative school public-private partnership.
The consortium, comprising infrastructure investor Invesis and the state-owned bank Belfius, will design, build, finance and maintain 38 schools under the ambitious Schools of Flanders programme.
The project will create over 176,000 m² of modern learning space for more than 20,000 pupils, representing a total investment of circa €500 million.
It´s a landmark of private investment driving meaningful societal impact and delivering sustainable, future-proof educational infrastructure for generations of students and teachers.
A cross-practice Linklaters team advised the consortium from selection through to contract close, including the (sub)contracts, financing structures and public procurement law.
