Some collaboration partners • AGMA • Manchester City Council • “pump prime” the collaborative agenda and create momentum • two can mover faster than ten • but designed to integrate with AGMA • Wigan City Council • BSF • Salford Royal Foundation Trust • In early discussions
Progress - AGMA • Recently reviewed by the Improvement and Efficiency Leadership Group • Seeking to increase the pace of delivery and change • 10 Priority Theme Areas • Tier 1: Adult Services, Children’s Services, Corporate / back office services and Procurement and Commissioning • Tier 2: ICT, Vehicle PMM & Social Transport, Asset Management, Workforce Development, Income Generation and Customer Contact
Progress - Manchester • Currently 5 active projects and others being evaluated for potential • Three styles of collaboration emerging • Joint procurement • e.g. Vehicle tyres, defensive driving • Collaborative working • e.g. Broughton Hub • Shared services • e.g. Legal services, SAP (though still being reviewed)
