Our Impact

Bridges’ team has supported 86 Outcomes Partnerships to date, creating £191m of outcomes in high-income countries, for over 72,000 people (estimated to be worth £1.5bn+ of public value in the UK); and £12m of outcomes in low- & middle-income countries, for over 1,003,000 people.1

The impact of our work is changing lives. And it’s changing the system too, as governments and commissioners embrace a better way of working.

Our impact over the past 5 years

Between 2023 and 2025, we have nearly tripled the number of people supported.

Catalysing systemic change

The world of Outcomes Partnerships continues to expand and evolve across policy areas, geographies and with new and existing stakeholders.

In the early 2000s, the UK Cabinet Office thoughtfully catalysed the full outcomes based commissioning ecosystem. For a brief overview of this and of our involvement in increasing innovation in public service delivery from the beginning, see below.
