Growth Planning
The Place Group team are able to support educational growth themed projects both from the perspective of the maintained state schools sector and the academies sector. We can specifically support with:
- Establishment of Federations
- Establishment of Co-operatives
- Establishment of Multi Academy Trusts
- Establishment of school-based early years provisions
We can also support with applications to sponsor new free schools or an application to establish an independent school.
Supporting with progressive and economically viable growth is one of our specialities and if this is a form of support you would welcome, please feel free to contact us for an exploratory conversation.
Change Management
We like to think we do change management differently, and to achieve understanding, consensus and adoption more effectively. Whilst we develop the strategy with our clients and agree outcomes and metrics as you would expect, we focus on straightforward, courteous and pragmatic direct conversations. Engagement with meaning rather than just cascading comms.
We manage change programmes spanning from statutory consultations through to influencing the attitudes and behaviours of stakeholders deploying a range of strategic and tactical approaches including multi-channel communications targeting different cultural and socio-economic groups and hard to reach communities, online and face-to-face workshops and thematic presentations. Capturing feedback and analysing data through regular structured reporting allows opportunities to modify approaches and hone conversations.
Research & Assessment
Place Group can support clients with research and assessment needs on the themes of healthcare and housing. Our expertise in healthcare sector research focuses on Public Health projects, where we have supported local authorities with assessing such needs for children and young people, aligned to government programmes such as Start for Life and Family Hubs. W
For housing themed projects, our team regularly support local authorities and district councils with needs and forecasts assessments which recommend education provisions that should develop in scale as an outcome of major new housing developments - particularly resulting requirements for primary schools, secondary schools, nursery provisions and FE places.
Decarbonisation
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.
Through our TEEAM alliance partners we can also carry out building surveys and statutory energy reporting, carbon management plans, energy audits, climate action and scope 3 carbon reduction plans, and community heat networks.
Procurement Services
Place Group has a team of MCIPS qualified public sector procurement professionals that have worked in Defence, Healthcare, University and School settings as well as Central and local Government. Between us we have purchased for, and have worked in, almost every public sector setting and understand the complexity and importance of getting it right. We offer two routes to our service; Interim, where we work as part of the client team and are on hand to support with whatever needs arise, or on a project-by-project basis whereby clients outsource their contract tendering
