Local government and public sector

Method

What this buyer is worried about.

Committee
A scheme members will actually approve

We write for the committee as well as the client officer. A security recommendation the cabinet member can defend in public.

Estate
Duties across a mixed and inconsistent estate

Leisure centres, halls, libraries, markets, parks and events, each with a different responsible person and a different capacity basis.

Procurement
Assurance evidence, ready before you ask

Insurance, certifications, data protection position, references and social value, published on the site and available as a pack.

Planning
Security conditions that can be discharged

We draft and review the condition wording as well as the response to it.

Service

The audience we are best suited to.

Local authorities are the audience this practice is best suited to, and the one most poorly served by the market. Large consultancies price for corporate clients and do not enjoy committee cycles. Product suppliers will happily specify their own products. Neither is what a borough needs when it is trying to make a town centre both open and defensible on a fixed capital budget.

We understand how a scheme actually gets approved: the officer report, the member briefing, the conservation objection, the highways comment, the residents' association. Technical advice that ignores that process does not get built.

On Martyn's Law, the authority problem is scale rather than complexity. Most councils control more in-scope premises than they think, and have not worked out where the duty sits when a hall is hired out to a third party.

Public realm

Designed to be open. Assessed to be defensible.
