Local Authorities

Through proactive risk management and supervision, we help safeguard public funds and support long-term project stability for Local Authorities and their development projects.

Local Authorities play a vital role in delivering essential housing and infrastructure projects, and ensuring financial security is crucial to their success. Our mission is to protect public investments by providing robust oversight and risk mitigation for social housing development projects.

We work closely with Local Authorities by consistently monitoring project performance and surety coverage at all stages of the development. By proactively ensuring that the correct financial safeguards are in place, we help prevent undue strain on public funds in the event of contractor non-performance or insolvency.

Transparency and accountability are at the heart of what we do. We provide clear, consistent updates to all stakeholders throughout the lifespan of a project, helping Local Authorities make informed decisions and uphold their financial responsibilities to the communities they serve.
