Like many councils across the country we are faced with significant financial challenges, rapid changes in policy and increasing demand on our services. While this is an unprecedented time of change and challenge it brings with it a huge opportunity to think and work differently, to consider how we interact with our residents and to re-think our role as a council. Our approach will be one of delivering services differently, working in partnership with other public service partners, communities and businesses, investing in new approaches and ways of working that deliver a financial return, and engaging with the communities across Sefton in new ways to make the most of everyone’s talents and skills. ## CPV classification General management consultancy services Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/19fd0b93-adca-11e6-9901-0019b9f3037b) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
