Case Study: Insight from SPACES on the benefits of strategic cross sector co-location Chris Hodgson Director of Estates and Facilities and Chair, SPACES East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust
History • SPACES “born”2011 • SPACES Board • Hosted by East Sussex County Council • Multiple public sector partners: • Local Government: County, Borough and District’s • Blue light: Police, Fire, Ambulance • Health: Commissioning, Primary and Secondary care • Education: FE’s • Central Government departments: DWP, DfT • Community & Voluntary Sector • OPE representation
Ethos • Organisation Agnostic • Public purse first and then organisation benefit sharing • Focus quite strongly on the engagement with our partners; understanding their priorities and drivers • Work towards mutual benefits and understanding what our partners are seeking • Recognise significant differences in focus between the organisation types
Early Years – Initial Focus • Strategic property perspective • Relocation of blue light services into one facility in various locations, thereby freeing sites for regeneration/sale • Capital receipts • Collaborative workspace incl. shared IT
Newhaven, Saxon House – Blue Light and District Council service co-location
Why does SPACES work ? • High level buy-in from partners • Mutual contribution on costs • Rotating chair
The future – shift in focus • Much more focused on housing delivery now than we were before • Commercial focus • Revenue gain • Revenue savings • PLACE based thinking • Cross sector working not just across property
