With deep experience managing wide-ranging asset portfolios from refuse collection fleets and transport infrastructure to heritage collections and utilities, we provide strategic insight and practical solutions that support transparent, efficient, and cost-effective service delivery.

NAVIGATING ASSET CHALLENGES IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR

Public sector assets are diverse in type, ownership, and purpose. Many are operated under joint ventures or lease models, and often represent material items on the balance sheet. For regulators, maintaining a Regulated Asset Base (RAB) is critical to ensuring financial capital maintenance across multiple industries.

Our approach ensures these assets are effectively recorded, maintained, and optimised, enabling public sector organisations to deliver vital services with greater confidence, value, and efficiency.

KEY CHALLENGES WE ADDRESS

Whether acting as asset owners, operators, or regulators, public bodies must balance performance with accountability, often within highly scrutinised, cost-constrained environments.

For those operating in the public sector, we assist in managing:

  • Increasing demand for diverse, asset-intensive public services across transport, housing, health, and education

  • Delivering essential services in a cost-constrained environment while meeting transparency and accountability requirements

  • Balancing the dual responsibility of minimising asset-related costs while maximising utilisation and performance

  • Navigating the complexities of asset ownership structures, including owned, leased, and joint venture models

  • Maintaining accurate, up-to-date fixed asset records across wide-ranging and often decentralised portfolios

  • Using book values to support benchmarking, investment planning, and regulatory compliance

SECTOR EXPERTISE THAT MATTER

We help public bodies, operators, and regulators improve asset performance, reduce risk, and ensure efficient capital allocation, supporting the sustainable delivery of essential services across communities and regions.

Our team of Industry Experts recognise that public sector capital assets are:

  • Extremely varied, ranging from refuse collection vehicles to utility infrastructure and cultural collections

  • Often material to local or national balance sheets, requiring robust management and reporting practices

  • Operated under public scrutiny, requiring clear audit trails and defensible asset valuations

  • Sometimes governed by regulatory frameworks such as Regulated Asset Bases (RABs), which influence long-term financial planning
