In this episode of The SCOPE, we explore the opportunities and challenges that devolution brings for place leaders and private sector partners. Judith Barker, executive director of Place and Economy for Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Combined Authority, joins our Roger Evans, Public Sector & Frameworks lead. They have a candid discussion on the realities of infrastructure delivery.
This isn’t about politics and policy. It’s about capitalising on the biggest regional government power shift in a generation. It can help to secure successful infrastructure outcomes. They also discuss why partnerships between the public and private sectors aren’t optional. They’re fundamental to getting projects moving and keeping them moving.
Listen for a clear view of how devolution is changing the way infrastructure is planned and delivered, what makes a pipeline credible, and why investing in programmes rather than standalone projects can lead to better long-term outcomes.
