LGSS is a shared service jointly owned by Cambridgeshire County Council, Milton Keynes Council and Northamptonshire County Council. LGSS was established in October 2010 through the merger of the Corporate Services operations of Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire County Councils into a single, shared service providing all professional, transactional and operational services to both organisations.
Since then LGSS has secured major new partnerships across the region with many other public service organisations including several district and borough Councils (e.g. Norwich City Council, Huntingdonshire District Council and Northampton Borough Council), also NHS Health Bodies like Northamptonshire Healthcare Foundation Trust (NHFT) , Adult Care Services (e.g. Olympus Care Services), Northampton Partnership Homes, plus providing services to hundreds of local academies and schools. In addition from 1st April 2016 Milton Keynes Council became a full legal partner with LGSS with representation on the Joint Committee.
