Book excerpt: This is a book about trust - in local government, in the health service, in military leaders, in politicians - between regulators and those they regulate. It starts from first principles, and is essential reading for students of the public sector who want to understand why 'best value' and 'relational contracting' are replacing pure private sector models such as compulsory competitive tendering.It also sets out to stimulate creative thought and aims to influence managers, not in the naive sense that they trust regardless, but as an incentive to examine their practice, and that of their organisations, to see how more trust might lead to more efficiency and to a greater involvement of ordinary citizens in the services they use.This ground-breaking collection focuses on key public service issues of continuing significance. Its concerns are highly relevant to the debates around the reshaping of the public sector and the meaning of the public services which have followed from the election of the Blair government.The main examples are drawn from local government, but the relevance of the lessons drawn from them is much broader for public sector management and an understanding of the ways in which the public sector is currently being shaped.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contracting out of public services, introduced by the Conservative government in the UK, is set to continue under the new Labour administration's policy of 'Best Value'. The search for best practice and new models of contracting continues.Why, and how, has compulsory competitive tendering, imposed by local government, resulted in different policy outputs at the local level in Britain? This book provides a thorough investigation of the key determinants affecting the output of CCT, and addresses the dynamics of public service contracting via both the quantitative and the qualitative methods of analysis.The author shows the importance of the politics of transaction costs, in relation to the implementation of CCT policy. In doing so, he addresses theoretical questions which focus on specific aspects of privatisation.The investigation is centred on a study of 296 non-metropolitan districts in England. The detailed case studies then apply the politics of transaction costs framework to analyse how CCT output has been generated. The experience of four local authorities are compared to clarify the approach each local authority has taken in relation to CCT.The author concludes with suggestions for other countries seeking to introduce public service contracting, to assist them in implementing and managing the system more effectively.The dynamics of public service contracting is essential reading for students and practitioners of public administration, policy makers, policy analysts, and all those interested in the restructuring of the public sector.
Download or read book The Effects of Compulsory Competitive Tendering and European Law on Local Authorities written by Philip Gosling and published by Springer. This book was released on 2001-03-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1980 and 2000, local authorities in the UK were required by the Local Government, Planning and Land Act 1980, and later by the Local Government Acts of 1988 and 1992 to demonstrate competitiveness in procurement through a statutory Compulsory Competitive Tendering (CCT) procedure regulated by the Secretary of State. Although CCT was abolished in January 2000, its intensive application over a 20-year period has left a lasting legacy in the conduct of local public procurement in the UK. In addition, the interaction of CCT and European law--in particular, that relating to public procurement and the transfer of undertakings--continues to have significance for local authorities throughout the EU. This book is the outcome of research into the effects of CCT on two English local authorities. Its remarkably clear and detailed analysis examines the CCT legislation, the principal legal and practical issues that it raised both in the UK and for the EU, its effects on the two local authorities selected for study and the broader implications for local public procurement in general. Among the legal issues addressed are the following: Policy differences between the various types of services procured--e.g., construction and maintenance, other manual, managerial, professional; The impingement of CCT on local authority discretion in contract tendering processes; and The interaction of CCT and the European Acquired Rights Directive as implemented in the UK by the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations (TUPE). The results of CCT are considered through case studies of the local authorities that examine the lasting effect on each authority's approach to service provision, organisational structure and general culture. In the last part of the book, the author summarizes his findings and offers conclusions that will be of value to public procurement authorities and their counsel everywhere.
