Public Services
Regional and local government and public authorities face performance challenges which are different to those faced by private organisations. Government and public agencies must manage and deliver a broad range of services and development projects in highly-visible, multi-stakeholder environments with limited resources, tight finance/budgetary controls and short deadlines.
Over the past ten years the UK’s Public Services have undergone fundamental change. More change and investment is expected in the face of continued demands for improvement in Health, Education, Local Government, Energy & Environment as well as national scale investments.
Current challenges are to deliver better public services and transformation in the face of a tightening economic outlook. Although there are still centrally-led public investment programmes, there is an increasing trend towards decentralization and many initiatives no longer revolve around the construction of a capital asset as the catalyst for service change. Coupled with this, there is an increasing range of contracting, partnering and funding options with associated alternative risk sharing arrangements.
Navigant’s Public Services practice offers a broad range of strategic, technical, and financial services to government, public agencies and private clients who operate in this environment. Our experts in finance, technology, public procurement, commercial management, project and resource management bring deep sector expertise to bear to reduce risk and support delivery of major programmes and public service transformation.
