Your chance to change
The Local Government Reorganisation (LGR) aims to simplify finance and governance, strengthen accountability, and unlock cost efficiencies for reinvestment in frontline services. It will require rapid strategic decisions, system integrations, and harmonisation of services, processes, and governance.
We can help you with careful planning, phased implementation, and clear roadmaps. All are essential to managing both short-term disruption and long-term opportunities.

Validate your position
We provide objective, evidence-based insights that benchmark your council’s current operations across Revenues, Benefits, Finance, and Customer Services. This clarity ensures you fully understand your strengths and informs strategic decisions for your LGR proposals.
Model financial outcomes
Using your data, we create detailed financial models to forecast revenues, costs, and transformation impacts under various reorganisation scenarios. This includes Council Tax and Business Rates projections, along with robust Lead Authority Operating Models and comprehensive Quality Management Frameworks.
Develop a roadmap
From scenario analysis and service harmonisation to strategic transition planning, we help you map a clear, structured route through LGR. We focus on best-practice service design, consistent Council Tax Reduction Schemes, and phased, risk-managed implementation.
Deliver with confidence
Whether it’s managing complex system migrations, providing full-service delivery, or acting as a transformation partner, we guarantee successful outcomes. Our approach ensures you plan effectively and implement confidently, delivering measurable results and lasting improvements.

We combine strategic consultancy, digital innovation, citizen-focused service design and integrated case management to help you build stronger, more efficient local government structures.
Step change consultancy
Our consultancy team helps you set a clear direction from the outset. We assess your existing service structures, benchmark performance and explore the implications of different unitary models. We provide evidence-based proposals to develop new operating models and create transition roadmaps. All include financial modelling, scenario analysis and risk assessment.
Digital transformation
As services converge, systems must evolve. New authorities must operate as one. We design services that modernise back-office functions and enable joined-up digital services. Using the right digital architecture, modular platforms, workflow automation, and scalable infrastructure, you will support future growth, enhance efficiency, and unlock long-term savings.
Customer experience

We help you balance digital self-service with assisted access, integrate contact centre operations, and provide accessibility and support for residents who need it most.

As council structures and responsibilities grow, so do the cases they must handle. We enable seamless, person-centric case management through integrated digital systems, shared processes, and experienced delivery teams. Our partnership and managed services support joined-up working across services, helping you break down silos and manage complex cases with speed, accuracy, and care.
