Northamptonshire's Improvement and Efficiency Partnership

The Northamptonshire Public Service Board (PSB) works on behalf of the Northamptonshire Partnership to provide delivery of the Sustainable Communities Strategy and the Local Area Agreement. It comprises all council leaders and leaders of key service delivery agencies. The PSB took the role of sub-regional partnership for the East Midlands Improvement and Efficiency Programme (EM IEP) and in 2009 created the Northamptonshire Improvement and Efficiency Partnership (NIEP) Board to be responsible for the programme of work for the sub-region, based upon the development and delivery of outcomes supporting the regional themes and priorities. The NIEP Board, chaired by the senior county EM IEP member representative, comprises all other EM IEP Board members and officers and Partnership Support Unit. It meets monthly to review, monitor and give direction to the projects making up the programme of work.
