Central Government

Place Group has a long history in helping shape, and subsequently implement Government policy initiatives to deliver transformational outcomes.
In the education sector specifically, we developed Building Schools for the Future and Learning Environments of the Future exemplars to maximise the school environment to aide teaching and learning – going onto advise twenty local authorities how to design their school estates; we helped devise academy and free school models to meet local educational challenges – then established over 100 new schools for communities across the country; we piloted a schools buying hub to change attitudes and behaviours to procurement – working with over two thousand school business professionals to ensure compliance and save £26m; and developed a feasibility study with alliance partners to accelerate the decarbonisation of schools – creating the model to efficiently meet the government’s net zero targets.

Place Group’s public sector consultancy services are expansive; from research, assessment and stakeholder engagement to change, project/ programme and procurement management; from grant application and growth planning to PMO services.

Whether its a short term assessment assignments or long term change programmes, we provide the strategic and tactical solutions and resources underpinned by quality and security management aligned to our ISO9001 and 27001 standards and certifications.

Our services span Education, Local Government, Central Government, Healthcare and Housing, delivered by professionals who understand the intricacies of how the public sector works; the complexities and sensitivities, the intrinsic focus on social and economic benefits, equality and inclusivity, transparency and accountability.

We are passionate about net zero and helping the public sector meet its targets, evidenced by our track records in delivering over £40m worth of decarbonisation interventions. We help develop specifications and investment solutions to accelerate the procurement and implementation of solar, EV charging, heat pumps, insulation, LED replacement as well as green energy, and deploying smart meters and technologies to monitor and enable data driven building control management and behavioural change programmes.
