Improvement and Efficiency South East (IESE) is one of nine Regional Improvement and Efficiency Partnerships (RIEPs) and was established to work with the south east’s 74 local authorities and 9 fire authorities to facilitate and fund projects that will drive efficiencies and service improvements across the region.

Themes include adult social care and services for children, capacity building , construction and asset management, corporate transformation, performance improvement, procurement, progress through partnership and waste resource management.

In year one, IESE enabled councils in the south east to make £18.5million cashable savings and estimates over £40m cashable savings in year two. IESE is governed democratically by members across the south east and managed by a south east chief executives’ board.

We worked with them to create a new, more engaging and easy to use site that allows members of the public and local councilors to quickly access the latest tools and news available.
