Local Partnerships

Local Partnerships is jointly owned by HM Treasury, Local Government Association and the Welsh Government.
The organisation was setup to help the public sector including councils and combined authorities to develop their commercial capabilities and assist with the increasing funding requirements of their infrastructure.
AMC was contracted by Local Partnerships due to our specialist knowledge of PFI contracts and our technical expertise in relation to these. We were initially tasked with providing LP with an operational lifecycle review of Birmingham Schools, in order that the council could properly assess the liabilities associated with the repair of their schools, in the event that the services were to be brought in house.

We provided the LP, for them to submit to the authority, a comprehensive report providing real insight into the availability of existing funds in the lifecycle sinking fund and the actual requirement of expenditure over the lifetime of the 25-year project.

Given the success of the initial project which provided crucial evidence used for the outcome of the authorities decision, we were again contracted by LP to assist on a number of Police PFI projects. Our role was to provide condition surveys and detailed reports, taking into consideration the contractual obligations of the private sector contractors, in order to assess any negligence on the contractors part and ensure that the appropriate steps were taken to maintain the affected buildings to the required standards, taking into account expected lifecycle replacement profiles set out in the initial contract, handback obligations and industry standards
