Shared Services Partnership

At the forefront of public sector transformation, the Hampshire County Council Shared Services Partnership is revolutionizing how essential back-office functions are delivered. Through a pioneering collaborative model, we have engineered a sophisticated, technology-driven platform that provides comprehensive HR, payroll, finance, IT, and audit services to a diverse portfolio of public sector partners. This includes local government authorities, police forces, fire and rescue services, and hundreds of schools. Our innovative approach is built on the principles of maximizing efficiency, eliminating redundancy, and fostering a culture of continuous improvement. By centralizing these critical services, we enable our partners to achieve significant cost savings, which can be reinvested directly into vital frontline services that benefit communities across the region. This strategic consolidation not only enhances financial resilience but also builds greater capacity for the future, ensuring that public services remain robust and responsive in a landscape of ever-evolving demands.

Our commitment to innovation is powered by industry best practices and cutting-edge digital technology, including a robust SAP infrastructure. We have created a dynamic, self-service operating model that empowers over 100,000 public sector employees, providing them with intuitive tools to manage their administrative needs seamlessly. This focus on digital transformation allows for greater standardization, improved data accuracy, and paperless processes wherever feasible. The partnership's success is a testament to the power of inter-agency collaboration, demonstrating a groundbreaking and scalable model for public sector efficiency. By bringing together organizations like Hampshire County Council, Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary, Hampshire & Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, and Oxfordshire County Council, we have created the largest and most successful public sector shared services partnership in the UK, setting a new benchmark for excellence and value for the taxpayer.
