Best Value

Best Value Reviews

At the heart of Best Value lies a series of performance reviews which the Fire Authority is required to undertake to show its commitment towards continuous improvement in service delivery. Each review must fundamentally examine the service provided in accordance with the Government’s criteria of:

Challenge
Compare
Why, how and by whom a service is provided.
The performance of others across a range of relevant indicators, taking into account the views of both service users and potential suppliers.

Consult
Compete
Local taxpayers, service users, partners
and the wider business community in the setting of new performance targets.
Use fair and open competition as a means of securing efficient and effective service.

The Authority's Best Value Review Programme focuses on reviewing our existing Service Level Agreements with Durham County Council and is outlined below:

2005/06
  • Finance
  • Legal Services

2006/07
  • Occupational Health
  • Environment and Technical Services

2007/08
  • Personnel

If you have any comments regarding the Reviews in the above programme, or think that we should be focusing and reviewing other aspects of the Service, we would be interested to hear your views so please contact the Corporate Planning and Performance Team.

In addition, contact the Corporate Planning and Performance Team if you want any further information about the Best Value Review Programme.
