Read some of our recent success and find out more about how KPMG works in your sector.
Social Infrastructure
We provided comprehensive advice to a flagship national building program. Our work involved:
Developing the case for tens of billions of government investment over more than 10 years
Developing the benefits case, operating model and economic analysis to support the case
Commercial support and framework design in relation to procuring main works and delivery partners
Enhancing performance with custom dashboards for superior data management, focusing on cost, schedule, and risk
Managing and reporting on vast amounts of data, providing clear insights through summary reports and detailed analyses to improve decision-making across the project lifecycle
Transport
Industry transformation and new Arm’s Length Body: Re-designing how an industry works together to operate
Developed an operating model for a new government arm’s length body to deliver transport services in a better way with better relationships to the private sector, including mapping the services that would be provided by the body and other partners in the industry
Designed in detail the new body’s organisational model and core processes including roles and responsibilities
Worked extensively with government funders and existing organisations that would join the new body to ensure buy in on the proposals
Economic Regeneration
KPMG has been on an ambitious capital programme to promote economic development and regeneration. A flagship project in the programme is the redevelopment of an exhibition and conference centre.
We advised a council on the structuring and public issuance of an over £400m index-linked bond, rated by Moody’s, to finance the project. This is the largest index-linked issuance in the capital markets by a UK local authority to date securing finance terms which are not available through conventional PWLB borrowing as well as diversifying its sources of finance.
Investment Centres and Sustainability
KPMG was engaged to help secure freeport status for Freeport partners to deliver their ambitions in offshore wind (floating and fixed-bottom), hydrogen, carbon-capture and alternative fuel sectors. Freeport status helps to deliver a step change in investment to an area by leveraging significant tax and customs relief, as well as seed capital funding.
