Are you struggling to decide whether to improve your procurement framework or switch to a dynamic purchasing system (DPS)? Is stretching your budget to fund all the services your local authority delivers becoming a struggle? Or are you wanting to see what different methods of procurement or technologies other local authorities are using?
Then this article will help you as it will highlight the differences between dynamic purchasing systems and procurement frameworks in public sector procurement, why both can be beneficial for your different local authority services and help you decide which approach is best for you and your community.
With local government funding decreasing and demand for services increasing it is crucial that your local authority maximises their resources to help enhance supplier performance, reduce costs, stay compliant, and mitigate risks while ensuring individuals receive the quality service they require.
At Access Adam Care Commissioning, we have always catered our technology for all procurement models local authorities have been using and adapt it to reach your goals. We are passionate to help you utilise your resources and budget effectively to make sure you work with compliant providers at the best value for money while providing the best service.
This article will address how these different procurement processes work and how at Access Adam Care Commissioning we can help you implement your procurement methods efficiently, effectively, and successfully to achieve the best outcomes.
Currently some of the major problems in housing stems from inadequate and incompliant landlords not fixing repairs needed in rented accommodation. The long term impacts of this can be costly, and it negatively impacts residents in your local area. Unresolved penetrating damp, often caused by water coming through external walls or the roof, for example, can lead to life debilitating lung and respiratory diseases when left untreated, making an unsafe environment for your constituency and piling further pressure on an over stretched healthcare service.
In response to these rising concerns, the UK government have announced recently that incompliant landlords in England will be named and shamed publicly and issued with large fines.
At The Access Group we provide a full range of Local Government software to support market challenges. We work very closely with local authorities across the UK and as a result are aware of the housing problems experienced across the different areas. We also understand the pressure councils are under to hit governmental targets such as the ‘net zero’ targets and we want to highlight the benefits of making homes more sustainable, by showing what that means for local councils, landlords, and your residents, by thinking sustainably at provider onboarding.
We are aware that onboarding providers and landlords that follow your ethos and exact requirements may not be easy and difficult to manage, both at onboarding and long term reassurance. However, there are many things Local Authorities can do to help support this process and organise future auditing of suppliers.
This article explains the importance and benefits of sustainable housing, as well as providing examples of how you can create greener homes, by showing how our Housing Management Software has helped our customers make those changes.
Are you looking for ways to improve the commissioning of your services to make them more streamlined and efficient? Whether you are an NHS Organisation wanting to improve your continuing healthcare department (CHC), a local authority streamlining your social care, temporary housing services, or transportation services, strategic commissioning could be the answer.
Strategic commissioning helps achieve both short term and long-term success to ensure everyone receives the right care while improving the overall wellbeing of the local community.
Access Adam Care Commissioning has developed software that supports different commissioning models to help improve strategic targets within communities, NHS organisations, and the public sector.
Using digital solutions and commissioning technology is just one of the ways councils and Local Authorities improve their local areas and work towards ‘net zero’ targets. Scientists have warned what will happen if governments and the public fail to take action.
The government in response have amended their initial target of reducing carbon emissions made in the Climate Change Act 2008 from 80% to 100% by 2050.
