Book Synopsis Reducing the costs for procuring fire and rescue service vehicles and specialist equipment by : Great Britain: National Audit Office
Download or read book Reducing the costs for procuring fire and rescue service vehicles and specialist equipment written by Great Britain: National Audit Office and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2010-07-23 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Firebuy, a specialist body established by the Department for Communities and Local Government to support procurement of kit by Fire and Rescue Services, has cost nearly twice as much to set up and run as the total savings it claims to have delivered. Without the power to make local Fire and Rescue Services use its national procurement contracts, Firebuy has had to rely on persuasion. Progress has therefore been slow with only five out of the 14 framework contracts it has set up being used by more than half Fire and Rescue Services to purchase equipment. Most of the contracts allow suppliers to offer many variations of the same types of equipment, allowing Fire and Rescue Services to procure expensive bespoke equipment, and preventing suppliers offering lower prices through high volume orders. The approach to measuring savings achieved by Firebuy is inadequate and the information that the estimated savings are based on is mostly unreliable. The Department expected Firebuy to be self-financing by its third year of operation (2008-09) but it is still heavily reliant on grants from the Department. Firebuy is expensive to run, with overheads between five per cent and 10 per cent higher than the industry norm. The Department has not shown enough leadership, direction or oversight of Firebuy to ensure it achieved its original objectives, most of which were not monitored (only 29 of 66 targets were monitored) and many were not met.
Book Synopsis The failure of the FiReControl project by : Great Britain: National Audit Office
Download or read book The failure of the FiReControl project written by Great Britain: National Audit Office and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2011-07 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The project to replace the 46 Fire and Rescue Services' local control rooms across England with nine purpose-built regional control centres linked by a new IT system has been a comprehensive failure. The Department for Communities and Local Government acted to cut its losses by terminating the contract in December 2010, seven years after it had begun, but at least £469 million will have been wasted, with no IT system delivered and eight of the nine new regional control centres remaining empty and costly to maintain. The Department tried to impose a national control system, without having sufficient mandatory powers and without properly consulting with the Fire and Rescue Services. The Department rushed the start of the project, failing to follow proper procedures. Ineffective checks and balances during initiation and early stages meant the Department committed itself to the project on the basis of broad-brush and inaccurate estimates of costs and benefits and an unrealistic delivery timetable, and agreed an inadequate contract with its IT supplier. The Department under-appreciated the project's complexity, and then mismanaged the IT contractor's performance and delivery. The Department failed to provide the necessary leadership to make the project successful, over-relying on poorly managed consultants and failing to sort out early problems with delivery by the contractor. The Department is now trying to minimise the future cost of the project by subsidising Fire and Rescue Services to use the Regional Control Centres.
Book Synopsis Integration Across Government by : Great Britain: National Audit Office
Download or read book Integration Across Government written by Great Britain: National Audit Office and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2013-03-13 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each of the areas in the Whole-Place Community Budgets scheme has identified potential benefits from taking a more integrated approach to frontline services, focusing on outcomes like preventing avoidable hospital admissions or reducing reoffending. Greater Manchester, which covers ten local authorities, has estimated net savings of some £270 million over five years, while in West Cheshire savings of £56 million are estimated for the same period. In general, government has only limited information for identifying opportunities for integration or making an assessment of costs and benefits, which is needed to support the case for integration. In some instances where government has identified integration opportunities, benefits have not been achieved because of implementation difficulties. While the centre of government has recognized the importance of integration, it does not have clearly defined responsibilities to support or encourage frontline integration initiatives across government. It is early days for Whole-Place Community Budgets, central government and the four local areas have worked together effectively to assess the case for local service reforms. The true scale of potential benefits will become clear only if projects are implemented and evaluated robustly. Foundations have been laid but continuing collaboration - including sharing of data - between local and central government and delivery partners is essential to maximize the potential of Whole-Place Community Budgets. Accompanying this report, the NAO has released a case study looking at the four Whole-Place Community Budget areas, finding that these areas have taken a positive first step in assessing the case for integration (HC 1040, ISBN 9780102981339)
