Local Authorities and Shared Services: Boosting Quality, Efficiency and Value through Innovation

At a time of shrinking budgets and increasing service demands, one of the innovative areas local authorities have turned to is shared services. By sharing services, over 220 councils have secured a total of £156m of efficiency savings in the last five years.

Despite the successes that have been delivered, many challenges remain to improve shared service frameworks in order to maximise financial and non-financial savings.

This special symposium provides an invaluable opportunity to examine the government’s approach to promoting shared services in the public sector and explore what more can still be done to increase efficiencies whilst maintaining quality standards in delivery.
