9. BEST VALUE PERFORMANCE PLAN 2005/06

    It is intended to carry out two reviews commencing this year using a 'best value' approach and review methodology. These will be to:

      · Examine the effectiveness of current partnership arrangements and make recommendations on how these could be improved to help fulfill the Authority's corporate aims.

      · Examine the effectiveness and value for money of the Authority's current contracts for services and service level agreements with Hampshire County Council. Identify how the arrangements to deliver these support services might be improved in the future.

    Owing to a lack of capacity in-house to undertake the work and because the nature of the reviews lend themselves quite well to being conducted from an external perspective, work is underway to identify possible external consultants to assist with both reviews. Progress on setting-up these reviews will be reported at the next meeting of the Committee.
