LIVERPOOL CITY COUNCIL

Liverpool City Council is managed by a chief executive, who is responsible for the day-to-day running of the council, and five executive directors, each of whom is responsible for the management for a particular portfolio.

Liverpool City Council is made up of five portfolios:

	Central Services
	Education, Lifelong Learning and Leisure
	Housing, Supported Living and Community Safety
	Regeneration
	Resources

Each portfolio contains a number of different service areas, which are responsible for the delivery of council services.

ENTERPRISE

Enterprise has established itself as one of the largest suppliers of Maintenance Services to the Utility and Local Authority sectors. This success has been based on a very straightforward and simple objective:

"to deliver best value to our Clients"

Local Authorities and Central Government are increasingly looking for organisations capable of managing and providing integrated services. Within the requirements of Best Value Legislation these clients are seeking new ways of delivering public services with greatly improved quality and delivery within tightly managed budgetary envelopes.

Enterprise has the capability to provide a full range of managed services through a single point of contact. These can either be estate or portfolio based and include the following:

	Grounds Maintenance
	Street Cleansing
	Street Lighting Maintenance
	Highway Maintenance
	Building Maintenance

These services can be combined to provide a true one-stop-shop for the entire "street scene" or for a property estate integrated approach. Enterprise works with clients and prospective partners to explore the strategic options and benefits that can be gained from the out-sourcing of any or all of these activities.

Our ability to combine the design, management and direct service provision as an integrated package offers constant opportunities to add value and improve services. Our project management experience enables us to provide the necessary skills and technical expertise for the most complex of challenges.

We recognise that a high degree of integration, trust and openness is fundamental to the success of out-sourcing and partnership agreements. To this end we have developed highly flexible business processes and change-management systems.

Our ability to manage change and our experience in developing partnerships gives us a distinct competitive advantage.

Our success in developing unique Local Authority Best Value partnerships shows us to be at the forefront of collaborative working.
