PHC SERVICE PROPOSAL

Project: Ending Harassment

Starter Pack (6 months) for Government / Public Service Improvement Project

Dear Programme Sponsor / Approvals Lead,

Many early-stage Government projects don’t fail because the public value case is weak — they fail because governance is weak. The result is predictable: avoidable admin overload, unclear priorities, weak documentation, and reporting that becomes painfully retroactive. That uncertainty increases approving body risk and slows good projects down.

We are therefore seeking a time-bound, staged Governance & Transparency Starter Pack for Ending Harassment. This is best understood as a de-risking instrument: it gives oversight bodies visibility, evidence-backed reporting, and clear stop/continue decision points, while enabling the delivery team to stay focused on outcomes.

Project focus (the local delivery need)

The initiative focuses on service improvement and social betterment, including:

What we are requesting approval for (assurance-first governance)

We are seeking approval for a 6-month PHC Starter Pack, delivered by Order Efficiency Ltd at a public sector rate (50% of standard commercial PHC Consultant rates). Total required funding is approximately £20,000. This includes PHC Consultant delivery for the 6-month term, plus any agreed allowances (e.g. tools, training, limited founder support).

The Starter Pack prevents the project being forced into slow, phone-based administrative burden and retroactive reporting. It provides reliable remote structure and support from an office-based delivery team.

In short: delivery stays the focus, while governance, tracking, reporting and stakeholder confidence are built in from day one.

What the approving body receives

By sponsoring this Starter Pack, you receive:

  • Transparent, editable cost assumptions and defined service limits.
  • Clear separation of opening capital, subscriptions, expenditure and cash reserves.
  • Fair, evidence-based governance review with protected confidentiality and independence.
  • Monthly decision gates driven by cash, capacity, safety and useful delivery.
  • A tested basis for revising the wider twelve-month strategy; no guaranteed subscriber uptake or outcome.

How the 6 months is structured (stage-gated on purpose)

Stage 1 — 7-Day Review (Go / No-Go): rapid viability + governance check producing an evidence-led snapshot (critical concerns, immediate actions, baseline plan, reporting format).
Stage 2 — Setup Phase (first ~2 months): implement PHC data structures and operating rhythm.
Stage 3 — Continuation Phase (renewable 3-month periods): day-to-day PHC Service work keeping SCALPED lists current, linking evidence, and providing reporting.

Why the Review exists (two reasons): (1) to enable fail-fast — if the project is going to fail, it should fail early, visibly and cheaply, preventing wasted funding; and (2) to provide stakeholders practical by-example assurance that PHC will be beneficial in ways that are often new to teams.

Approval Options (stage-gated)

Support can be provided as monthly tranches or stage funding aligned to outputs and reporting (whichever you prefer).

Option A — Authorise Month 1 review and readiness (£1,700)

Purpose: Test feasibility, authority limits, demand, risks and funding before setup; this is a cost allowance, not a donation product.

You receive: A go, revise or no-go recommendation; defined scope; risk register; draft subscription offer; actual supplier and consultant terms sought. Later costs are not authorised.

Option B — Authorise readiness plus setup, Months 1-3 (£7,190)

Purpose: Complete gated design and setup within an approved ceiling; demonstrate readiness before paid activation.

You receive: Controlled records, criteria, safe participation arrangements, draft cohort baselines where feasible, subscription contracts and reconciled monthly reporting. £7,190 is gross cost, not the net cash call after assumed receipts.

Option C — Authorise the gated six-month envelope (£14,975)

Purpose: Test bounded operation and sustainability, with an illustrative £15,000 opening cash requirement separate from costs and subject to funding approval.

You receive: Monthly cost and subscription reporting, limited institutional reviews and follow-up where agreed, sample independent challenge and a six-month continue, narrow, reprice or stop decision.

(Any of these options can be funded as a standalone decision, or combined as a phased pathway.)

What the Starter Pack includes

Likely questions (answered upfront)

[+] “Is this politically neutral?”

Yes. PHC produces factual, contextual evidence of what happened, what was decided, what was attempted, and what remains unresolved. It does not impose ideology or spin.

[+] “Is this extra bureaucracy?”

The aim is minimum viable structure: enough to be reviewable and useful, not enough to slow delivery. It reduces rework by making decisions and evidence easier to locate.

[+] “How does this fit existing governance?”

PHC complements boards and assurance by providing structured evidence and a live concerns/actions view. It doesn’t replace your governance model; it makes it work better.

[+] “What if the initiative is not viable?”

Then the Review surfaces it early, with a clear record of blockers and risks — enabling a controlled stop decision and protecting public funds.

Next step

If you are open to a short call, we would welcome 15–20 minutes to confirm:

  1. stage-gated vs full starter pack preference
  2. reporting cadence/format you prefer
  3. any restrictions you’d like applied (ring-fencing, branding, geography, safeguarding, governance interfaces, etc.)

Thank you for considering an approach that makes delivery credible, accountable, and reviewable — while keeping the delivery team focused on outcomes.
