Background to Support Services • Support services have been significantly cut back over many years with resource levels now agreed to March 2015 but a ‘cliff edge’ from 2015/16 onwards • The existing support level, systems and in-house service must change from 2015/16 onwards and all Council services will also change • Costs need to be lower and a higher level of variability needs to be built into the cost base • Capita Business Transformation Partnership ends Oct 2015 with options for a 5 year extension • ITO contract deliberately timed to end Oct 2015 also with options for a 5 year extension • Programme Athena has been running across London looking at back office convergence and cost reduction 10
Vision for Support Services The six point vision for the Resources Directorate is as follows: • Improved customer service and satisfaction for residents • Lower cost support functions in protection of the front line • Setting and supporting delivery of balanced 3 year budgets • Higher quality joined up support to front line services with a clear impact on the community • Protecting our finances and assets from risk through strong governance • People management consistently at IIP Gold Level 11
