Public Sector Opportunities Bulletin - April 2015

During the course of our everyday research, the PublicSectorViews team often picks up on interesting developments in the UK public sector market that don’t make it into UKHotViews. In particular, we often become aware of interesting opportunities. These developments don’t get ignored; we always use them to form our views within our core research (for example UK Public Sector SITS Market Trends & Forecasts). However, we would like to offer our subscriber base a more regular update. That is why we bring you the PublicSectorViews’ Opportunities Bulletin, as a regular feature of the research stream.

In the third issue, we focus on SITS supplier opportunities in the Local Government & Education sectors. Over the last few weeks there has been an uptick in the level of tender activity in these subsectors. Indeed, there have been sector developments that have warranted more in-depth analysis. PublicSectorViews subscribers should also see: ‘Local Government: Is Northamptonshire’s commissioning model the future?’ and ‘Local Government Shared Services: Where are we now?’. Also relevant to shared services in the local government arena, we have this month published: Improving patient care co-ordination: CSC & Trafford). The opportunities highlighted in this bulletin caught our eye, as we feel they resonate with our ‘Sector Shaping Trends’ for 2015. As a result, our view is that the potential may extend far beyond this initial, sometimes small, contract. If you would like to discuss anything within the Bulletin, please don’t hesitate to contact one of the team. In addition, we would welcome any feedback on this publication - Please email: gotoole@techmarketview.com.
