In August, INPP acquired 100% of the interests in Building Schools for the Future Investments LLP (BSFI) from the Department for Education and Partnerships UK for around £60m.
Giles Frost, director of Amber Infrastructure, said: "School projects continue to form a core part of INPP's portfolio going forward and the group is delighted that, consistent with its expectations for additional development opportunities arising from BSFI, INPP has already finalised a further investment in the second phase of the Salford and Wigan project."
