2. The challenge of 25% cuts
• 25% of central funding varies between 5% and 20%
• Over the last 5 years councils have experimented
with new ways of working. Nationally there have
been over 1000 efficiency projects.
• To cut costs by 25% the logic is clear:
– do the basics to reduce third party costs
– re-engineer your business to be leaner and fitter and
release assets
– share services between councils and between the
public sector and release more assets
– stop doing things and where possible get the customer
to do them for themselves or the community on their
behalf.
• We have to do this whilst at the same time delivering:
– apprenticeships; reductions in CO2 emissions; support
for SME’s and the local economy; transparency
• Procurement is a key means to these ends uhE

3. Doing the basics
• On average third of external spend is on
commodities
• In simple terms we need to know:
– Have we got the best price
– Are we using the prices we agreed
– Are we managing demand
• Finding the best deal
– Don’t buy if you don’t have to
– More access to knowledge
– Use of public sector buying organisations
• Making sure we use the agreed prices
– Still common to find only 25% spend on contract
– Tailoring finance systems to keep spend on contract
– Using web based procure to pay solutions
• Are we managing demand
– Monitoring external spend uhE t ast

5. Reshaping markets
• External spend for public sector in England is £221Bn
…
• of which £50Bn is local government
• 96% of our external spend is in 4 areas
Construction Corporate Social care Waste
services
• A reduction in commodity spend is essential but …
• 10% reduction in commodity spend is only 1.5% of
total spend uhE t ast

6. Collaborating on construction
• Public sector across the
south east has
collaborated on
construction
• The programme is
popular with the public
bodies using it and
contractors alike
• We have a programme in
excess of £1 billion
• Costs and time are down
through early contractor
involvement
• Quality is up through
leveraging our combined
spend
uhE t ast
• A further £300m this year S Et s

Collaborative procurement
• Design team hand-picked using
existing framework arrangements
and OJEU competitive tender.
• HCC/MACE/Bennetts undertaking
HCC HQ programme and change
• 75% more staff accommodated management, FF&E design, move
• 30% more space efficient management and facilities
(staff per floor area) management in-house.
• 4500m2 reduction in the • Early engagement with the main

8. … and applying the lessons
• We can repeat the success in construction for
Corporate Services and Waste Management
• But whilst we can drive down unit costs total cost is
rising:
– Waste from the move from landfill to incineration
– Social care from an ageing population
• So whilst we can do the basics, reshape markets this
wont be enough …

10. … and just stop doing some
things …
• So the customer needs to make
the best deal
• The Care Funding Calculator
– Better specification of need
– On average cost reduction
• Enabling the customer to do the
calculation
– Customers who hold budget
– Self funders
• “Care bay”
– Enabling exchange of service in
the community
– Reducing dependence of formal
care
– Bringing transparency to the
market

East Sussex Coast
• a large retired population
• Fire regulations changed
• Large costs
• Reducing residents savings
• Closer to need for support
Not our problem?
• We do rate traders
• Why not procure commodities?
• 2 pilots showed 40% and 60% savings

12. So what are the barriers?
• Council sovereignty
• ‘not invented here’
• Local capacity
• Supply chain management behaviour
• Collaborative arrangements do not exist
The obstacles are not technical. Local
Government can now define, procure
and deliver some of the most
complicated projects in government.
