Mott MacDonald has a proven record of supporting public bodies
in rethin-king their strategic positioning to achieve performance
improvements and satisfy their specific requirements, needs and
strategic objectives. Our assignments for central and local
government in the last few years have given us intimate working
knowledge of public sector bodies and the sensitivities involved,
especially where it’s important to achieve efficiency gains while
improving service delivery.
Our range of strategic consultancy and technical expertise covers
the full spectrum of local authority services. And through our work
with central government we understand and can interpret the drivers
required to deliver the efficiency programme. Through our
successful partnerships, frameworks and term commissions we are
currently assisting public and private sector customers to develop
their approach to continuous improvement and value for money within
their businesses.
Maximising efficiency gains
Local authorities and other public sector bodies have been using
our unique set of skills, experience and resources through the
Regional Centres of Excellence (RCEs), or directly, to help them to
achieve the efficiency agenda set by central government of 2.5%
savings per annum. Here are some examples:
- Through the RCEs local authorities are able to obtain a
procurement best practice guide specifically for local authorities
which we have prepared for 4ps (Public Private Partnership
Programme)
- Local authorities will also have access to the results of a
pilot study we carried out for Defra to test the hypothesis that
savings can be made by aligning waste services contracts and
achieving economies of scale through procurement
- Our previous studies, based on Norfolk County Council,
demonstrated that 12% savings could be made by procuring waste
services through a single administrative framework
- Mott MacDonald’s innovative Network Condition Index helped
Portsmouth City Council to optimise their highway management to
achieve an affordable and sustainable level of service in
compliance with Best Value
- Our Strategic partnership with Norfolk County Council is
achieving savings of £1m per annum through value engineering,
innovation and procurement
This shows that Mott MacDonald already has a strong presence at
a local government as well as central government level.
Other examples of current and recent experience include:
- Extension of local government partnerships
- Kelly 2 market analysis
- SACS – current senior consultant appointment within OGC
focusing on customer relationships
- RCE invitation – development of Delivering Efficiency in Local
Services
- PFI/PPP, Building Schools for the Future and school improvement
