NEW ARTICLE: From both sides – What the Stoke schools issues tell us about PFI Issues with Stoke’s schools PFI scheme highlight key challenges in asset quality & contract management.

"In the private sector, decisions are made with due diligence but quickly. Stakeholders align, mobilise and move projects forward apace. Usually, there is a financial imperative to do so.

With local government reform on the horizon, we can't afford to wait..." @themjcouk @LP_AdeleG localpartnerships.gov.uk/2025/02/13/pub…
