DRIVING BETTER SERVICES THROUGH FLEXIBLE PARTNERSHIPS
Bridges Outcomes Partnerships is a social enterprise that specialises in the design and delivery of outcomes-based Government contracts, in partnership with impact-driven organisations and public sector commissioners.

Short-term value to Government
These projects foster a more flexible, more collaborative delivery approach than traditional Government contracts – but with clear alignment around improving the lives of vulnerable young people and adults.
This enables the provision of more targeted, more responsive, more coordinated services – while also delivering better value for public money.
The Bridges team has helped to structure, arrange and project-manage over 50 of these projects. Together, these contracts have supported more than 20,000 beneficiaries and are on course to deliver over £100m of positive milestones to Government.
PARTNERS
Since 2012, we have worked with over 60 central and local Government officials, across a range of policy areas, including:
