Hi there,
My approach
Public sector cases are tricky because they feasibly be any case type (Product Launch - new service for citizens; M&A - merging two departments; even Profitability - cost cutting mandate). For any public sector case, I recommend:
First identifying the type of case it is.
Second, leverage your knowledge of the public sector as constraints/considerations.
Framework Resource
In terms of resources, the UPenn Wharton 2011 casebook has a framework for public sector. It's split into:
Strategic rationale (Mission of organisation and stakeholder reactions)
Deal economics (planned investment and returns, if any)
Other (Required capabilities and risks)
Practice Cases
If you want some practice cases:
Tepper 2008's "NGO Effectiveness"
Colombia 2011's "MadeCasse"
Hope this helps, and please don't hesitate to ask any follow-up/clarifying questions!
