We’re delivering better One Public Estate: purpose A partnership between the Office of Government Property and Local Government Association to support collaboration across central and local government and the public sector to deliver: Local growth (homes and jobs) Integrated, customer-focused services Efficiencies (receipts and running costs) We’re delivering better outcomes together 2 One Public Estate
Its about partnerships First, it is a partnership between central and local governments. Second, those joining the programme must also form their own cross-public sector partnership, bringing together central and local government, alongside other national and local partners including the NHS, police, fire, Local Economic Partnerships and others. Third, projects must be delivered in partnership by multiple public sector partners. Central to the One Public Estate approach is its focus on partnership. The Office of Government Property and the Local Government Association act together as neutral brokers amongst partners. One Public Estate Regional Programme Managers also provide support and challenge to drive projects forward.
