- Our Workforce;
- Our Technology;
- Our Assets; and
- Our Delivery Model
It is the Council’s intention to work with a partner at pace, to deliver specific projects that will realise cashable benefits and help ensure the long-term sustainability of the Council.
The Council is particularly interested in hearing from providers with experience in developing public sector partnerships and a track record in supporting large scale transformation programmes to deliver tangible outcomes.
Due to the nature of this work, it is preferred that interested parties meet the appropriate requirements to deliver financial, property and risk advice.
The Council is also interested in exploring payment model options.
