Local government

Regional and local government is undergoing fundamental change in its interaction with both central government departments and the citizen.

A number of far reaching initiatives, such as the Implementing Electronic Government Programme, Comprehensive Performance Assessment and Best Value Performance, are presenting new challenges for regional and local government.

The government is also committed to a decentralisation of power through the establishment of a Parliament and Executive in Scotland, an Assembly in Wales, and a longer term devolution of power to regional level in England. The Belfast Agreement also paved the way for constitutional development in Northern Ireland.

To assist with these challenges, AMTEC Consulting can offer twenty years of experience of working with local and regional organisations and devolved administrations throughout the UK. Examples from our recent track record include: improving access to local government services through the use of technology and call centres; ensuring the planned value of new programmes is realised; educating and advising on key information governance policies; and providing assistance in procurement through competitive tendering.
