The agreement, which is being put to a full council meeting 13 May, will see LGSS providing services including IT, HR, finance, procurement, legal and revenues and benefits.
David Mackintosh, leader of Northampton Borough Council, said: ‘We have already reduced management costs and will have to continue to do so. This agreement would ensure that we can continue to provide services of a high standard while reducing the cost to the public even further.
This is a bold but sensible approach that will mean we can continue to provide high-quality, frontline services in a way that make the very best use of taxpayers’ money.’
A report last week said shared services are saving councils £263m.
