Planning and delivery challenges in the public sector
Government provides the policy and regulatory frameworks and the key public funding that shapes our society, promotes economic growth and regeneration and protects our environmental resources. They also provide for our national security and emergency services, transport infrastructure and the health, education and housing needs of a growing population. To deliver these programmes, Government and its agencies involve the private sector and other organisations.
Given the wide scope and complexity of their task, the challenge for central and local Government, their agencies and partnering organisations is to procure the right delivery partner within the context and constraints of tightening public sector spending.
