Hampshire has a number of shared service agreements with other public sector bodies which will be able to make use of the contract – Oxfordshire County Council, Hampshire Fire and Rescue Authority, Hampshire Constabulary and the county’s Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner.

The tender also makes it clear that Hampshire is intending to expand its shared service offering and “therefore provision for potential significant growth has been made in this procurement and will be required to be reflected in the agreement”.
