Working with Public sector clients requires an understanding of their objectives, their budget constraints and their particular way of working. DPP is a trusted advisor to a range of public sector bodies throughout the UK and Ireland.

The public sector presents a unique challenge for advisors. There is a need for clear audit trails to confirm decision making and time scales for decision making can be longer than in the private sector because of the consultative and collaborative nature of local authorities and government bodies. DPP has an established track record of working with the public sector, and indeed, many of its people have come from that background, having worked in Planning or administration.

Our project managers ensure that our projects with the public sector are programmed in such a way to allow the necessary times for decision making and that all decisions are recorded in a way that shows a legible audit trail. We understand the cost constraints under which the public sector works and keep within allocated budgets while still providing the high service levels for which DPP is well known.
