The department publishes contract values when available on Contracts Finder, which is available at: https://www.gov.uk/contracts-finder. In addition, the department publishes capital costs for all free schools on GOV.UK once all works are completed and costs are finalised. Once at that point, the department will action this for these three schools and anticipates that may be some time in the future.

The department is currently progressing a range of legal and contractual mechanisms for recovering costs.
