Abstract
Freight Quality Partnerships (FQPs) have been a feature of freight transport policy in the UK since 1996. Many FQPs have been established throughout the country and a substantial amount of public funding and effort has been expended on them. However, to date there has been little effort to study their effectiveness and achievements, and to consider any changes necessary to increase their future success.
This report investigates FQPs to attempt to establish the number and type that exist, their structure, their aims and objectives, their activities and outputs, their challenges, successes and failings, and the extent to which they work with and learn from each other. Through survey work, the study has also sought the views of those directly involved in the operation and management of FQPs about the FQP concept, whether they have improved partnership working between the public and private sector, the value for money that they provide, and actions that central government and other organisations could take to improve their success and effectiveness.
