Cutting costs with hand and scissor
我们很高兴地通过采购和合规号Mark Ewen将此及时地发布。ESPO，以六名成员当局拥有的以客户为中心的，非营利的公共部门购买组织。
It didn’t come as any huge surprise, but local government was recently dealt a further blow as the Government announced in its Spending Review that it will have to make further significant cuts over the next four years.
Local government has adapted outstandingly well to the austerity measures so far but many councils are struggling financially. There is an ever-growing need for new approaches and alternative procurement strategies. In some areas, Government is taking a more direct role, promising legislation to allow the police and emergency services to collaborate (see Public Spend Matters:here）例如，更紧密地采购，但还有其他可能升起的举措：
- 更聪明地采购设备和服务，以利用当地政府的购买力来帮助推动长期节省
- Collaboration between councils and partners like police, NHS trusts/CCGs/police/schools on commissioning of services and procurement to make up for shrinking resources
- Better consolidation of procurement professionals’ know-how and commercial skills (especially in areas like frameworks) to help procurement teams cope with the pace/scope of public sector change (councils downsized, housing associations making savings, schools converted to academies, etc.)
- The realisation that in a litigious world, professional buying organisations (PBOs) offer a compliant way to do collaborative procurement
在对政府的支出审查的过程中，政府邀请许多公共部门组织参加公共部门效率挑战让工人有机会告诉中央政府在哪里以及如何更好地或更有效地完成。近年来，近年来，在整个公共部门的采购过程中有巨大的改善，始终存在进一步效率的领域，特别是供应链和合同管理。
As a professional buying organisation that exists with the sole purpose to help public sector organisations access the goods and services they need, we would like to see the Government better support ‘professional procurement’ in the public sector and encourage the wide scale use of smarter, outcomes-focused buying strategies as a cost-effective and compliant route to market.
我们一直与公共部门组织合作超过30年，但很明显，框架协议可以通过一些组织使用更多更多，并有助于大量储蓄，特别是在呼叫后供应链和合同管理的重点增加。
我们在整个英国进行采购讲习班，很明显，公共部门的一些地区需要进一步指导采购和供应链最佳实践。通过研究我们从我们收到的万博体育下载app大部分反馈中，特别是来自教育部门的反馈，我们知道他们需要在利用框架时进一步支持。当然，最近已经向学院过渡到了学校的人，并且第一次努力制定所有自己的采购决策，其中许多人都感到不安。PBOS努力使用户可以获得框架，并采取努力工作和努力，从采购经常复杂的商品和服务。
Some of our most successful frameworks to date are great examples of how they can help the public sector make significant savings in traditionally hard-to-engage markets. For example our Banking Services and temporary staffing (MSTAR) frameworks are being used throughout the UK and feedback on savings and ease of use from customers is extremely positive.
在公共部门需要更多的采购合作，并且我们已经看到了在教育和医疗保健部门工作的证据。当CLG CLG委员会审理到2014年报告的地方政府采购的询问时，它呼吁合作成为不同组织之间的默认。这不仅可以实现更多的效率，可以汇总购买力，但也会有采购专业人士的汇总的核实。
Further cuts are coming whether we like it or not, and the procurement expertise that PBOs have to offer could be a significant factor in assisting the public sector to collaborate to deliver further sustainable savings.
