Public
The First Cut?
The public sector is facing unprecedented times. Over the next four years nearly all Government departments will be required to slash an average of 25% from their annual budgets in order to deliver £83 billion of savings by 2014-15.
In order to protect front line services, Government departments will need to maximise their income and reduce their operating costs, and in particular, their property and real estate.
