Value for Money?

? What’s it about - ? Doing more for Less Doing the same for

less

Doing less with even less

Doing more with the same

Doing a lot more with a little more

Making the “Value for Money” Business Case

VfM Definition:

The mix of quality, cost, resource use, fitness for purpose, timeliness and convenience to judge whether or not, when taken together, a service constitutes value.

VfM Definition:Relationship between the 3 E’s • Economy - Measuring the cost of providing a

service (inputs) • Efficiency - Measuring productivity, or how much

you get out (output) compared to what you put in • Effectiveness - A measure of what has been

achieved or outcomes.

But don’t forget to look for the:• Social Value / Social Return on Investment as

well

Value for Money

and Social Value

The Added Value outcomes of:

• The collective gain to the community from commissioning / procurement over and above the direct purchase of goods and services

For the VfM Framework, Toolkit and Case Studies

VfM Case Studies planned for 2010-11 • CO2 Emissions in operational buildings • Community Safety – Night Time Economy • Supporting People – Life to the Full, a SIGN

Intergenerational project • Smoking Quitters • Apprentice Scheme for Looked after Children

– a SSDZ Project • The Annual Polygon Clean up • CORVU: To integrate CorBusiness with

PARIS, Uniform and Lagan ( a new SCC - commissioned study)

Lessons Learnt from the VfM Case Studies

• Show where Partners, only by working together, have successfully delivered important projects that achieved significant outcome improvements in Key Priority areas for the city.

• Identified how the projects caused Partners to act differently by creating innovative ways of working.

• Found VfM achievements and identified lessons learnt around the 3 E’s and achieved additional Social Value returns for the city.

A VfM Case Study Toolkit

We intend it to be for :

• Providers,

• Commissioners, and Procurers of services,

• those who Measure .
