The contract, valued at up to £130 million over an initial period of 10 years with possible extensions of a further 15 years, will be delivered through a new Joint Venture Company (JVC) between Torbay Council and May Gurney.

The aim is that the JVC will begin mobilisation in April with services commencing in July.

May Gurney will hold an 80% share of the JVC, which will also independently source new business clients in the region, reflecting the aims of the Government's Total Place initiative.

The delivery of bundled services through a single private partner in joint venture with a local authority is a truly innovative solution designed to drive service improvements and value for residents - doing more for less.

Philip Fellowes-Prynne, Chief Executive of May Gurney, said: "We are delighted to have been selected by Torbay Council for this ground-breaking JVC and we're very much looking forward to working together to deliver better services across the region.

"May Gurney is an expert at developing deep long-term relationships with its clients where real collaboration is crucial - especially to design and deliver such a wide range of front-line services, which are essential to local communities.

"This core expertise will be crucial to the success of our innovative new partnership with Torbay."
