Lean CD Process – Based on Cabinet Office guidance
OCS/CEF in April 2015 Fewer people and posts delivering services in OCS and CEF
Most people will be working for another employer
Another public service provider OR Another private service provider
Very few people and posts will remain working directly for the LA.
And if you remain working for the LA, almost certainly your post will change in some way, and the way you operate will change because the way we conduct a lot of our business will change
Current Timelines
If your service is included in the procurement for Joint Venture or Outsourcing PIN Notice – we find out what the shape of the OJEU should
be - Jan 14 OJEU Notice – we tell the market what we want - April 14 Dialogue – we work out what we can get and what cost -
May to Dec 14 Preferred Supplier – we decide who will do it - January 15 Final Sign Off – it’s all public - February 15 Transition Period (Could be three) Change A to B - from Feb
15
Current Timelines
By January 2015 you should know what this means for you
• Working for another employer (could be a number of different employers)
OR
• Working for Oxfordshire County Council ( but it will be different)
BUT
• There may be job losses in some areas and that may mean redundancies
We will continue to have quarterly updates but change how we do that ….
