East Midlands Property Alliance (EMPA)
Collaborative working is recognised as being an important tool with which to
make savings. Well thought through shared documentation and common approaches
to the same issues not only saves time and money in procurement but also helps
the contractors and suppliers develop the means to make savings in their delivery
costs.
EMPA was launched on 31 March 2008 at Beaumanor Hall in Leicestershire. Fourteen
local autoriites from around the East Midlands region at County, Unitary and District
levels have signed up and more are in the process. EMPA is inclusive and hopes
all 46 authorities will sign up to participate or use the Alliance in as many
parts as they wish. It is free to join.
Having worked through the legal issues lead by a Steering Group, the long term
management and strategic direction has been taken on by the EMPA Executive Team.
Scape will provide the legal identity to procure framework arrangements for a
range of projects. For further information contact Alan Coole at Scape 0115 8523
