We take you to a higher level

Councils face challenging times for the foreseeable future. Funding will weaken, while expectations of local delivery will increase. In the words of Sir Michael Bichard: “There is no question that we are entering a tight fiscal period and, therefore, we’ve got to provide either better services for the same costs or, more likely, better services for less costs.”

We are used to this challenge. Our vast outsourcing experience in the private sector is all about delivering more for less - exactly the same issue facing the public sector.

Doing more for less can be achieved through radical change as well as continuous improvement - each council is different and therefore deserves a unique approach. There are various avenues for local authorities to explore in working with the private sector:

• Strategic partnering
• Service sharing
• Commissioning
• Collaboration

We have already formed strategic partnerships with Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council and East Riding of Yorkshire Council to produce efficiencies and reshape service delivery, while reducing costs.

The scope of our strategic services includes, among others:

• Customer Services
• Revenues Services
• Benefits Services
• Payroll Services
• Creditor Payments Services
• Transactional HR Services
• Occupational Health
• ICT Services
• Transformation Services
• Training Services
• Print & Design Services
