Agenda item

To receive a report of the Commissioner of Police.

The Sub Committee received a report of the Commissioner of Police which informed Members of steps taken since the last meeting to provide independent scrutiny of the Value for Money (VfM) process in the Force.

The Assistant Commissioner explained that meetings were planned with the HMIC, to support developing a new methodology for assessing VfM. Proposals had also been received from three external companies, with one selected that would submit a further cost proposal to the Force, to explore alternative approaches to developing VfM benchmarking of services. The Chamberlain was confident the external company would provide a service bespoke to the Force and the Chairman was pleased to know the process was moving forward.

RESOLVED – That the report be noted and its contents received.
