Welcome

Improvement & Efficiency South East (IESE) is the South East Regional Improvement & Efficiency Partnership (RIEP), established to help the region's 74 local authorities in their drive to increase efficiency and improve services.

IESE supports councils in Kent, East Sussex, West Sussex, Surrey, Hampshire, Berkshire, Milton Keynes, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire through local improvement partnerships and specialist regional support in areas such as procurement, corporate transformation, adult & children's services, waste management and construction. There is also support for Fire and Rescue Authorities through the South East Fire Improvement Partnership and a range of services aimed at helping authorities meet the targets established through Local Area Agreements (LAAs).
