Oxford City Council nominated for another award

Oxford City Council nominated for another award

Oxford City Council has been nominated in two categories in the Improvement and Efficiency South East Awards.
The council have been shortlisted in the categories "Council of the Year" and "working together."

The "Council of the Year" award recognises the Council's commitment to improve and make savings to avoid being knocked off financial course by the banking crisis and the recession, and other external issues.
The "working together" award recognises the commitment to work in partnership to effectively achieve service improvements and savings.

The submission focuses on the Procurement Hub, an initiative between four of the Oxfordshire districts to leverage better deals with suppliers. This has included the introduction of a prompt payment code and an annual "Meet the Buyer" event.

Councillor Bob Price, Leader of Oxford City Council, says: "Officers and councillors have worked hard over the last few years to transform the council's services for customers and improve value for money.

"We are meeting over 90 per cent of our corporate plan targets and we are in a strong position to sustain current improvement levels and to fulfil our aspiration to provide excellent services to all our citizens.

"I am delighted that we have been nominated for this award and I wish everyone luck tonight."
Improvement and Efficiency South East (IESE) is one of nine Regional Improvement and Efficiency Partnerships (RIEPs) and was established to work with the South East's 74 local authorities to facilitate and fund projects that will drive efficiencies and service improvements across the region.

The awards will be presented tonight in London.

Last year the Council received three awards - The Carbon Trust Innovation Award 2009 for its innovative use of low carbon technology in the public sector category, The Energy Saving Trust Fleet Hero Awards for ‘Smarter Driving,' and The Project Manager of the Year at the BCS and Computing UK IT Industry Awards which was awarded to Jeff Ridgley.

The Council's progress in transforming the way that it works was recognised last year at the APM Awards where it was a finalist for the prestigious ‘Programme of the Year' award for its Business Transformation Programme - the only local authority to be shortlisted for the APM Awards this year.
