HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) established a clear set of eight location principles to determine the location of its regional centres. These were:<\/p>
- · Sustainable large sites \u2013 having the capacity to hold all HMRC\u2019s requirements for the region in a single building, ideally accommodating no less than 1,500 staff.<\/li>
- · Talent pipeline \u2013 offering access to a pipeline of future talent, with the skills HMRC needs, for example, close to universities and colleges.<\/li>
- · Single location career paths \u2013 offering the chance to build careers and skills to a senior level in a number of professions in a single location without the need to move.<\/li>
- · Catchment for a mix of business activity \u2013 the right grouping of existing teams to allow a diverse mix of business activities to be brought together in the same place.<\/li>
- · Digital infrastructure \u2013 having high capacity, high speed digital infrastructure and mobile networks to benefit customers and staff.<\/li>
- · Facilities for HMRC\u2019s people \u2013 access to good housing, schools and recreational facilities, so HMRC can recruit and retain staff.<\/li>
- · Market rates- delivering good value for money in property and labour costs.<\/li>
- · Robust long-term infrastructure \u2013 locations with the right infrastructure for the long term such as strong transport links within the region and nationally.<\/li><\/ul>
HMRC values its people and wants as many as possible to move with the work to the regional centres. In addition to the eight location principles, it looked at where its staff live and initially assessed more than 40 of its existing medium to large sized locations against the principles as possible regional centres. These included: Aberdeen, Belfast, Birmingham, Blackburn, Bolton, Bradford, Bristol, Cardiff, Chatham, Chesterfield, Dover, Edinburgh, Exeter, Glasgow, Grimsby, Harwich, Ipswich, Leeds, Leicester, Liverpool, London, Maidstone, Manchester, Newcastle, Northampton, Nottingham, Peterborough, Peterlee, Preston, Plymouth, Reading, Redruth, Sheffield, Shipley, Solent (including Portsmouth), Southend-on-Sea, Stockton-on \u2013Tees, Taunton, Telford, Workington, Worthing, Wrexham.
