Independent analysis (Ecotec, 2004) shows that Leicestershire represents a particularly cost effective and affordable business location for government departments and agencies. The availability of a wide range of sites and premises with significant cost savings on office rental values, together with excellent access to supporting infrastructure, represent a key strength in the business case for future public sector relocation to Leicestershire.

 

Wide Ranging Commercial Office Portfolio

 

Public sector organisations considering a location outside London and the South East will find an extensive portfolio of sites and properties available in Leicestershire to meet a wide range of relocation needs over the next five years or more. This includes high capacity office accommodation, campus-style opportunities and smaller individual office units, in a city centre, business park, town centre or more rural location – all offering excellent access to the rail and/or motorway networks. The area is able to accommodate a wide range of needs from large scale relocations involving up to 2,500 post to smaller scale operational relocations of 10 posts or more. 

 

Temporary office accommodation is also available for advance parties.
