GUIDE TO POTENTIAL CORPORATE VEHICLES
In the current economic climate, local authorities are exploring all avenues, including new commercial opportunities, to deliver public services. To assist local authorities, Local Partnerships has produced the above “guide to potential corporate vehicles” as an introduction to some of the vehicles that can be used for collaboration and the delivery of services. It should be noted that these options are a means to an end, so firstly authorities must decide what it is they wish to achieve, when and with whom.
