PHC SERVICE PROPOSAL

Project: Delta State Governance

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 β€” 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 Delta State Governance. 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 Β£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:

  • Consistent reporting grounded in evidence
  • Clear concerns register with named ownership
  • Decision traceability (what/why/when)
  • Continuity across staff turnover
  • Audit-readiness without reinventing the story
  • Stop/continue decision points to control spend

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

Stage 1 β€” 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 β€” Setup Phase (first ~2 months): implement PHC data structures and operating rhythm.
Stage 3 β€” 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 β€” 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 β€” Approve the 7-Day Go/No-Go Review (Stage 1)

Purpose: confirm viability and expose critical blockers early

You receive: Go/No-Go report, prioritised concerns register, initial action list, baseline reporting approach

Option B β€” Approve the first 2 months (Setup Phase)

Purpose: install minimum viable governance and reporting rhythm

You receive: month 1–2 reporting plus functioning registers and decision routines

Option C β€” Approve the full 6-month Starter Pack (Setup & Continuation)

Purpose: stabilise governance long enough for measurable improvement and credible evaluation

You receive: consistent reporting + an evidence pack suitable for assurance and evaluation

(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)

[+] β€œIs 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.

[+] β€œIs 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.

[+] β€œHow 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.

[+] β€œWhat if the initiative is not viable?”

Then the Review surfaces it early, with a clear record of blockers and risks β€” 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 β€” while keeping the delivery team focused on outcomes.
