| Summary, etc. |
The best value pilot programme established in England by the department of the environment, transport and the regions represents an attempt to develop a new style of policy making which relies more on persuasion and less on detailed prescription and regulation than the compulsory competitive tendering regime introduced under the conservative governments of the 1980s and early 1990s. The programme includes a range of different types of local authority, as well as two police forces. It spans all major local authority services and functions and embraces a wide variety of approaches to achieving best value. This heterogeneity makes evaluating the impacts of best value on service costs and standards difficult. However, it increases the chances of securing broad based support for the best value regime and stimulating organisational and cultural change in local government. - Reproduced |
