We are carrying out work as normal to support our clients and do not currently anticipate any interruption to our customary levels of excellence. Local Partnerships is a geographically dispersed organisation and, as such, we are fully familiar with remote working for all employees. We have contingency measures in place should any members of staff be unable to work owing to Covid-19, or other illness.
Contact details for all members of staff are shown on the our team page of our website.
In light of government advice we are conducting an increasing number of meetings via tele-conference, video conference, webinar and other virtual means. Please be assured that we have the technical facilities to support this method of working.
We offer commercial and legal expertise to support local and combined authorities with their contracts. We are aware of some contracts that are under strain and in some cases, suppliers are invoking force majeure clauses. Should you experience any problems with contractors, especially in relation to Covid-19, please get in contact with us at lpenquiries@local.gov.uk or on 020 7187 7379 and we will try to help.
If you have any queries please contact us at lpenquiries@local.gov.uk or on 020 7187 7379

Proudly sponsoring The MJ Awards 2020: “Leadership in responding to the climate emergency”
The climate emergency affects a wide range of service areas. Developing a response and taking critical steps on the trajectory to net zero carbon require leadership, policy development, bold financial and technical solutions, and adaptation.
This year, as part of our work to support local and combined authorities take practical steps to face the huge challenge of tackling the climate crisis, we have developed, and are sponsoring, The MJ Achievement Awards 2020 new category: “Leadership in responding to Climate Emergency”.
The award aims to promote climate leadership and is a great opportunity for local and combined authorities to demonstrate innovation across the areas of energy, industry, buildings, transport, food, and nature-based solutions for the delivery of their targets.
The judges are looking for the best initial response to a declaration of climate emergency. Applications can be submitted by any part of a local authority, or the whole local authority. Entries can include partnership initiatives with other agencies.
Our Impact 2018-19
To celebrate our tenth birthday we launched our 2018-19 impact report, celebrating the successes we have achieved over the last year and looking back at those achieved since our inception in 2009.
We deliver national programmes of support, commissioned by central government departments but delivered locally.
