Heart of South West LEP

Local Partnerships provided excellent support to the Heart of the South West LEP. They understood the issues that we are having to deal with and worked with our partners to help align their spatial priorities with the area’s economic plans.

Local Partnerships has been excellent to work with – their knowledge, experience and insights in the growth area have added enormous value to councils in the West Midlands.

TESTIMONIALS

Local Partnerships’ expert advice has helped us resolve a range of PFI contract issues. They identified savings within our projects and have supported us in their implementation. Their commercial expertise is helping us get the most from refinancing our BSF projects and is delivering significant savings. These are valuable resources in the current financial climate that the Council is able to reinvest into its front line council services.

Ian Rooth, Head of Finance Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council

Local Partnerships’ work at Wirral has harnessed local knowledge and created a much sharper, focused approach, which is commercially aware and which will result in more homes delivered over the next five years

Eric Robinson Chief Executive, Wirral Council

Local Partnerships provided excellent support to the Heart of the South West LEP. They understood the issues that we are having to deal with and worked with our partners to help align their spatial priorities with the area’s economic plans.

Heart of South West LEP Chris Garcia, Chief Executive

Getting the procurement of a supplier for energy performance contracting right, is really important. Local Partnerships gave us the confidence to take the next step by guiding us through the Re:fit procurement process, offering professional support and advice and asking challenging questions about issues we hadn’t even thought about. Without their support, the procurement process could have been a lot more stressful and we may not have achieved the goals we set for ourselves.

Cambridgeshire County Council Sheryl French, Project Director, Mobilising Local Energy Investment

Some of the key benefits to DECC of using the Re:fit programme have been a significantly streamlined (OJEU compliant) procurement process, which meant the energy efficiency measures could be installed more quickly; support in drafting and assessing tenders; expert project management advice; independent assurance that the projected savings were realistic and guaranteed energy savings.

Department of Energy and Climate Change Amber Rudd, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State

Local Partnerships played a pivotal role in ensuring that the bidders’ proposals would be acceptable to the Welsh Government (and therefore eligible for financial support). The project also benefitted tremendously from its experience in fostering public-private relationships and its commercial expertise. Local Partnerships was extremely helpful in providing document templates and guidance.

Central Wales Waste Partnership Beverley Hodgett

The Waste Infrastructure Procurement Programme team is leading the way for strategic joint working across the public service in Wales. This innovative and exciting work can provide a blueprint for the future, not just for waste management, but in other areas as well. Ministers and other public service partners are increasingly referring to this programme’s approach as the way forward for joint working in Wales.

Welsh Government Derek Jones, Permanent Secretary

The relationship with Local Partnerships gives me invaluable access to capacity and skills for procurement, programme management and projects and is flexible and responsive to my needs.

Welsh Government Jasper Roberts, Deputy Director, Waste and Resource Efficiency Division

I have found Local Partnerships supportive and knowledegable, particularly on the technical and financial aspects of our street lighting PFI – enabling us to make informed decisions and ensuring that we haven’t wasted effort in these areas on what is a challenging and complex contract change.

Manchester City Council Peter Woodward, Capital Programmes and Property

Local Partnerships provided excellent support to the Heart of the West LEP. They understood the issues that we are having to deal with and worked with our partners to help align their spatial priorities with the area’s economic plans.

Heart of the South West LEP Chris Garcia, Chief Executive

Local Partnerships has been excellent to work with- their knowledge, experience and insights in the Growth area have added enormous value to Councils in the West Midlands.

Coventry City Council Martin Reeves, Chief Executive

We are working with Local Partnerships to explore the opportunities for private rented sector housing in Lewisham. Local Partnerships bring an excellent understanding of the challenges that local authorities are facing with a depth of commercial experience and understanding of the housing market.

Lewisham Borough Council Janet Senior, Executive Director, Finance and Regeneration

Local Partnerships insight and knowledge on the PFI market has directly influenced how we’ve progressed with our PFI savings negotiations – in particular their understanding of the funding market has helped us minimise the risk of incurring potential costs by pursuing proposals that were likely to be considered unacceptable.

North Tyneside Council Andrew Gate, Commerical Services Team

The Local Partnerships team has exceeded the original brief in providing very professional and effective support and advice in the review of two individual PFI contract provisions. The review team provided a comprehensive assessment that has the potential to offer further budgetary savings opportunities.

Norfolk Constabluary Jonathan Henry, Norfolk Constabluary

Local Partnerships has more than met the requirements set for them. Although the reason for the engagement was to identify savings they have also done some really good work on improving the governance of the contract and better supporting our contract manager.

Gloucestershire Police Peter Skelton, Gloucestershire Police

The observations and recommendations will leave a legacy of learning and improvement far beyond the project.

Humberside Police Ian Watson, Assistant Chief Officer

The setup and three days onsite work were challenging. We have now decided to continue the Gateway Reviews throughout the whole life cycle of this programme.

Lincolnshire County Council David O’Connor, Assistant Chief Executive

I found your style of review both challenging and supportive, and very much focused on enabling us to improve, rather than telling us where we’re not. Such a style is very welcome and not always in evidence in such processes.

Bradford Council Jill Campbell, Project Manager

The relationship with Local Partnerships gives me invaluable access to capacity and skills for procurement, programme management and projects and is flexible and responsive to my needs.

Welsh Government Jasper Roberts, Deputy Director, Waste and Resource Efficiency

The benefits substantially outweigh the cost. We will be looking to carry out further work with Local Partnerships as we push forward with our Reshaping Trafford Programme.
