Condition Data Collection programme: information and guidance

Information and guidance on the Condition Data Collection (CDC) programme.

This guidance was withdrawn on

This programme has now been superseded by Condition Data Collection (CDC) 2.

Applies to England

From early 2017 to Autumn 2019, the DfE’s Condition Data Collection (CDC) programme will visit every government maintained school in England to collect data about the physical condition of school buildings and how they are managed.

From May 2019, we are also visiting every government maintained FE college to collect similar data so that we will have a comprehensive picture of the condition of the government maintained school and college estate in England.

We are working with 6 external organisations to deliver the programme, as listed below:

  • Arcadis – Technical Services Manager
  • Aecom - Surveying Organisation
  • Capita - Surveying Organisation
  • Faithful + Gould – Surveying Organisation
  • Rider Levett Bucknall – Surveying Organisation
  • KyKloud – IT Supplier

This page contains detailed information and guidance on:

  • CDC for schools, responsible bodies and the general public
  • Further education condition data collection (FE CDC) for FE colleges and other interested parties
