Agenda About LB Newham and Havering The story of ICT, Digital and shared services in Newham and Havering since 2010. About oneSource
About Newham Compact, but densely populated - approx. 12sqm & 320k population Amongst the Poorest boroughs in England & Wales Life expectancy 2 years less than national average Highest unemployment rate in England Most ethnically diverse (200+ languages) 40% govt. funding reduction since CSR-2010 Youngest population in country Massive regeneration programme. Inc.2012!
About Havering Havering is the 3rd largest London Borough, Green & suburban developments Pop. 237,000 residents. It is the least culturally diverse London borough, but that is changing rapidly (BME population doubled from 2001-2010). Havering has the largest proportion of Adult Social Care users in London and 1 in 3 adults are aged between 40 & 64 £100M PA budgets cuts estimated from 2010-2018..
Purpose • To reduce ICT overheads through shared service provision or joint procurement. • To improve the effectiveness of ICT systems in the boroughs through shared knowledge, skills and IP assets. • To standardise systems and processes, removing technological barriers from wider sharing of staff or services. • Objective • By 2020 there will be more shared infrastructure, systems and services, but not one size fits all. • Principles • ICT Strategies and approaches will become aligned over time where beneficial to each authority. • Move at the pace of the fastest but allow others to join in when ready
Shared vision • Various workstream leads • Standardise • Consolidate • Share • If we can share the technology • Then we can share the processes • Then we can share the people
Objectives of the Newham & Havering Shared ICT Arrangements To reduce the overheads associated with running Newham and Havering’s ICT services. By 25% (while maintaining capacity to delivering more than ever before!) To freely share knowledge, skills and best practice in order to improve the quality of the respective ICT infrastructures and services. To accelerate the rate of improvement of Havering’s ICT core infrastructure to underpin its organisational transformation. To improve Newham’s back office ERP estate. To demonstrate what could be achieved through partnership working. Other back office areas are now planning to follow. Operated initially as a hybrid “franchise” & “centre-of-excellence” model. Over time it has evolved into a single service delivered across two locations. Slide 8
London Wide ICT Partnership Working • As well as Newham & Havering + wider ELS joint ICT developments, we have… • London Connects for the 33 London LA CIOs, plus rep’s from health and various other groups such as ISfL. • Over the last year we have also teamed up with the procurement community in order to drive standardisation and cost savings through better ICT category management and strategic supplier relationship management. • Athena.
So how did it get started? With an invitation from colleagues at Havering. And has now been running for 4 years, saved £3M PA and improved the overall quality of ICT services in the boroughs. We are doing more with less. A further £1.2M to save this year. Slide 11
Main Areas of ICT Enabled Savings • Funding cuts are accelerating the adoption of new delivery models in order to improve council efficiency rather than cut services. • In order to protect services to local people, councils are pursing a number of cost reduction approaches, most of which require significant ICT solutions and often include the following. • Channel shift & resident self serve from basic advice & guidance to personalised budgets for social care • Internal centralisation and staff self serve • Property portfolio rationalisation (supported by flexible & remote working) • Mobile working • Shared &/or jointly procured services • Process automation

About oneSource OneSource is built on a successful partnership between two London boroughs - Havering and Newham (technically a joint committee). The two organisations are sharing 21 back office services and are already reaping the benefits in terms of cost-saving and efficiencies, while protecting frontline services for residents. Our aim is to achieve an estimated £40m in savings for the two councils over the next five years (over and above £3M PA for ICT already saved). In creating oneSource, Newham and Havering Councils have capitalised on a successful history of joint service transformation working, including a shared Head of ICT and collaborative procurement. We worked quickly to develop oneSource so we could maximise potential savings. This includes using shared ICT platforms and standard systems. We believe that, in oneSource, we have created a preferred and replicable model for shared services in the public sector Slide 19
