Local Partnerships’ working arrangements: COVID-19
We are carrying out work as normal to support our clients and do not currently anticipate any interruption to our customary levels of excellence. Local Partnerships is a geographically dispersed organisation and, as such, we are fully familiar with remote working for all employees. We have contingency measures in place should any members of staff be unable to work owing to Covid-19, or other illness.
Contact details for all members of staff are shown on the our team page of our website.
In light of government advice we are conducting an increasing number of meetings via tele-conference, video conference, webinar and other virtual means. Please be assured that we have the technical facilities to support this method of working.
We offer commercial and legal expertise to support local and combined authorities with their contracts. We are aware of some contracts that are under strain and in some cases, suppliers are invoking force majeure clauses. Should you experience any problems with contractors, especially in relation to Covid-19, please get in contact with us at lpcomms@localpartnerships.gov.uk or on 020 7187 7379 and we will try to help.
