Sharing the Gain: Collaborating for Cost Effectiveness
Report available for download
This ‘how-to’ guide has been written to help public service bodies to take advantage of collaborative working opportunities and reduce their costs. Sharing the Gain provides advice and practical tools to help manage the whole lifecycle of developing and running shared public services.
We hope that our report will enable councils and other public bodies to take a proactive approach to collaboration initiatives, which, in turn, will help protect services against the impacts of funding reductions. Although this work has particularly focused on district councils, it is relevant for all that have an interest in partnership working for the delivery of public services.
The report has arisen from a partnership between CIPFA and the Society of District Council Treasurers (SDCT). The project is supported by the Department of Communities and Local Government (DCLG) through the West Midlands Regional Improvement and Efficiency Partnership (RIEP).
