Private Sector
While business believes that this government is committed to
increasing the delivery of public services through the private
sector, there is uncertainty about how soon these opportunities
will flow. The scale of policy changes and the radical timelines
across all sectors is causing concern for private sector providers.
Alongside an uncertain economic backdrop, public sector projects
and spending being reduced, contracts being renegotiated and
pipelines diminishing, the private sector is wondering when to
invest in gearing up for the new world where the government enables
rather than does.
Drawing on our strong understanding of the public sector gives
us an informed insight into the complex range of issues facing the
public and private sector alike. We align ourselves to the key
agendas including deficit reduction, contracting with government,
the low carbon agenda and localism, to provide our private sector
clients with advice that works with the direction of public
policy.
We create funding structures that enable the private sector to
bring their resources to bear in working with the public sector to
meet their delivery agenda, at a time when public sector budgets
are limited.
Our areas of focus are:
We have a strong track record in developing successful
partnerships with the public sector, that reflect our deep
understanding of finance and financial markets. We are consistently
in the top 3 of public private partnership finance league tables
and our clients include all the top ten infrastructure
contractors.
We recently assisted Morgan Sindall Investments Limited to form
an local asset backed vehicle in a 20 year partnership with
Bournemouth Borough Council. This major regeneration project will
release capital to deliver new homes, offices, retail
opportunities, tourist attractions, business development and public
realm improvements in Bournemouth town centre.
