School feasibility study brief templates

Authored by Oliver Wakefield-Smith, Founder of Digital Signet. Working from RIBA Plan of Work 2020, RICS NRM1, BB103/BB104 and ESFA CIF 2026-27 rules.

Choose the closest template to your project. Each one carries a worked fee envelope, the deliverables checklist, the RIBA stage span, and a paste-ready ITT block.

The six templates

Each template is shaped to the funding route and capital trigger it serves. They are not interchangeable: a CIF condition bid asks different questions of the brief than an SRP rebuild, and a net-zero retrofit needs energy-modelling and embodied-carbon scope an expansion does not.

How to tailor

Each template page exposes the editable lines and the standard clauses (RIBA Plan of Work appointment terms, evaluation criteria, governor agenda block). Combine the template with the fee calculator output and the procurement pack for a complete ITT.
