São Paulo speeds up the concession and construction of schools with a new auction: the consortium's project promises to revolutionize education!
In a historic auction, the government of SP moves forward with an ambitious concession project that foresees the construction of 33 schools in several cities. With the SP+Schools Consortium, the project aims to expand the educational network, serving thousands of students and creating modern and technological structures.
This new stage reaffirms the state's commitment to quality education and the optimization of public resources, allowing students to have an innovative and safe space to study.
SP Government concludes new batch with Auction and Concession of 16 Schools at the surprising value of R$11,5 million reais
In a decisive move to modernize state education, the government of São Paulo finalized the auction for the concession of Lot Leste, covering the construction and maintenance of 16 state public schools in São Paulo, for R$3,25 billion. Held at B3, São Paulo stock exchange, the dispute between three groups was won by Consórcio SP+Escolas. The government will have to pay the consortium R$11,5 million per month to build and manage these schools.

The consortium offered the largest discount (22,51%) compared to the auction reference value, which was R$14,9 million per month. With a discount of 22,51%, the consortium was able to significantly reduce the estimated cost, ensuring a quality solution. This initiative is part of a series of Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) for the education sector, demonstrating the government's commitment to improving schools.
West Lot: Schools will have 476 classrooms, designed to serve 17,6 students
The SP+Escolas Consortium will be responsible for building 16 teaching units, distributed across cities such as Aguaí, Arujá, Campinas and Sorocaba. In total, the new schools will have 476 classrooms, designed to serve 17,6 students. The proposed infrastructure follows three distinct models, with 21, 28 or 35 classrooms, adapting to the demands of each region.
In addition to traditional teaching spaces, the new schools will include auditoriums, interactive environments and sports areas, providing a more dynamic environment for students and teachers. This structure aims not only to increase the number of places available, but also to offer an innovative and safe environment, where learning is enhanced by technology.
Another breakthrough with the West Lot
The week before the auction of Lot East, the Novas Escolas Consortium, also part of SP+Escolas, won Lot West, guaranteeing the construction of another 17 units. The schools in this lot will serve approximately 17,1 students in 462 classrooms, benefiting cities such as Araras, Bebedouro and Marília.
With a discount of 21,43%, the final value was R$11,9 million per month, representing savings of R$922,2 million over a 25-year contract. This exemplifies the commitment to the efficient management of public resources and the quality of educational infrastructure for thousands of students.
Joint benefits: 33 schools in 29 cities
Adding the two lots together, the project foresees the construction of 33 new schools in 29 cities in São Paulo, increasing the state network by 35,1 thousand full-time places for elementary and high school education. This plan has a total investment of R$2,1 billion, with half of the units expected to be delivered by the second year of the contract and the rest by the third year.
The action is aligned with the objective of offering a quality education in suitable and modern spaces, ensuring that students have access to comprehensive training and that teachers and managers have access to a well-structured environment.
SEDUC-SP's vision for the education PPP
The PPP education project, coordinated by SEDUC-SP, aims to optimize management and modernize the infrastructure of state schools. According to the government, the initiative seeks to allow education professionals to focus more on pedagogical activities, reducing costs and increasing administrative efficiency.
The idea is to create well-equipped schools, where managers can act more effectively and where students have better study conditions.
Strict monitoring and active supervision during the construction of schools
To ensure compliance with the project’s objectives, the São Paulo State Public Services Regulatory Agency (Arsesp) will be responsible for overseeing the contract. An independent auditor will also be involved, monitoring the performance of the services provided and ensuring that the contract’s rules are strictly followed.
In this way, the government ensures that the PPP project in education meets the highest standards of quality and safety, both in the construction and operation of the new schools.
Statements from leaders on the social impact of the project
The representative of the SP+Schools Consortium, Ney Moreira, highlighted that the group's proposal transcends physical infrastructure and aims to transform the lives of the students benefiting from it: “The government's support was fundamental to developing a project that truly meets educational needs, creating a safe and welcoming environment for the entire school community.”
The State Secretary of Education, Renato Feder, emphasized that the PPP allows us to focus on teaching: “Managing maintenance, construction and food through the PPP frees up the teaching team to work directly with students.”
Construction of these 33 fully equipped schools is a milestone for education in SP
Governor Tarcísio de Freitas expressed his satisfaction with the progress of the PPPs: “We are solving infrastructure problems that affect 80% of state schools that are over 20 years old. The construction of these 33 fully equipped schools is a milestone for education in SP.”
He reinforced that the objective is to improve study conditions and provide an ideal working environment for teachers and coordinators, focusing on transforming the reality of the state education network.
Upcoming auctions in the Concessions Marathon
This auction is part of the São Paulo government's Auction Marathon, which includes concession projects in the areas of education, mobility and health. After the concession of the schools, other projects such as Rota Sorocabana and the State Lottery have already been completed.
The next auction, for the Nova Raposo project, is scheduled for the end of November. In this way, the São Paulo government remains firm in its goal of modernizing and expanding essential services for the population.
