Working hand in hand with like-minded organisations to start sharing outgoings and expertise is the only sustainable way to deliver improved services while continuing to spend less money. Not only is everyone in the know saying so, but a growing number of local authority shared service partnerships are already in place – and reaping the rewards.
“For local authorities who haven’t gone down the shared service route, this is the
time for action.”
CBI October 2010 Chartered Institute of Public Finance & Accountancy
“Innovative local authorities have already shown what can be achieved...The experience of businesses and the local councils that have already taken action have saved money without affecting the quality of service – whether sharing support functions, front-line activities
or chief executives.”
CBI October 2010
“The Revenues and Benefits partnership shows that it is possible to do things at a lower cost while improving performance and customer service. Capita has undoubtedly contributed
to this success."
Stuart Dawson, revenues and benefits partnership manager. The south west Dorset Revenues and Benefits Partnership has realised a saving of £1 million across its three merged authorities.
