£100k 'reward' to improve delivery

摘要

Councils have been invited to bid for a £100,000 cash pot to fund projects aimed at improving the procurement of goods and services. Under the LGA's 'Big win' exercise, five key spending areas are earmarked for trial schemes - social care, property, highways, waste and corporate services. By focusing on the highest-spending areas where the biggest potential savings could be found, managers hope councils may be able to protect more resources for frontline services.
