CONSERVATIVE PARTY – LEGISLATION & POLICY – COMPULSORY COMPETITIVE TENDERING
- The governments policy of compulsory competitive tendering to improve the quality of council services compels local authorities to put out to tender a significant proportion of their services. The aim is to ensure that the delivery of high standard services reflects good value for money.
- Local authorities originally had to put out to tender most new construction and building maintenance work. This has now been extended to include housing management and professional services.
- In construction, property services and personnel, the budget level below which councils do not have to put services out to tender, has been reduced. The decision to put housing management services out to tender depends on the number of properties rather than their combined financial value.
