Abstract
New approach, which has led to the setting up of a Joint Venture Company (JVC) in April 2001, in partnership with British Telecommunications (BT). The Contract between the city council and the JVC is valued at £300m and is for 11 years. The joint venture route has been chosen in order to build in a genuine partnership, ensure flexibility to meet changing requirements, and to secure a long-term relationship. The joint venture initially includes the council’s ICT infrastructure, together with a package of services including revenues and benefits, human resources, payroll, and customer contact centres. A key feature of the partnership is that Liverpool staff have been seconded to work in the JVC, thus remaining employees of the city council.
