<h3>In 2024, local authorities across the UK are facing unprecedented challenges in delivering public services and meeting the needs of their communities.</h3>
<p>One of the most severe consequences of the financial crises for local authorities is the risk of issuing a section 114 notice, which effectively declares that they are unable to meet their statutory duties and imposes a spending freeze on all non-essential services. &nbsp;</p>
<p>Reducing &lsquo;people costs&rsquo; - a significant cost for all local authorities &ndash; is one way that the public sector can try and reduce financial pressure, but how can this be achieved?</p>
<p>Our new whitepaper about the current crisis in local authorities looks at:</p>
<ul>
<li>The leading challenges for local authorities both now and on the horizon</li>
<li>Solutions to address the shortage of essential workers</li>
<li>Workforce planning in the public sector - dealing with today, planning for tomorrow</li>
<li>The benefits of working with a strategic workforce partner</li>
<li>Redefining your employer brand as a workplace with purpose and meaning</li>

Addressing 2024’s talent challenges in UK local authorities

<h3>Learn how moving to a statement of work solution can help local authorities improve the quality of their services and control costs.</h3>
<p>The UK public sector is under increasing pressure as demand for services escalate. While many local authorities try to tackle the problem by hiring more headcount, others are turning to a different approach: one that can give them better value for money.<br><br>With budget cuts, escalating costs, increased demand for services and staffing challenges &ndash; not to mention greater scrutiny of public spending &ndash; is it time for you to do things differently?<br><br>A statement of work (SoW) solution can help your organisation control costs and provide a better quality of service &ndash; one that&rsquo;s focused on output. It&rsquo;s a new way of looking at service provision and it requires a change in mindset. So, where do you begin?<br><br>If you&rsquo;re a UK local authority at the start of your transition to a SoW solution &ndash; or if you&rsquo;d like to find out more about services procurement and SoW management &ndash; then this guide is for you, created specifically for you.</p>
<p><strong>You&rsquo;ll learn:</strong></p>

<li>The service/supply areas in local authorities that could benefit from SoW, including adult and children&rsquo;s services</li>
<li>The challenges of moving to a SoW solution &ndash; and how SoW management can help</li>

<h2>Effectively managing demand from within your business</h2>
<p>Read this practical guide and you could save up to 60% of your total spend on temporary labour.</p>
<p>You'll get useful insights and tips on how to better manage demand for temporary labour from within your own business.</p>
<h3>Here some tips to get started</h3>
<p>This guide is for procurement or human resources professionals with responsibility for managing your organisation's usage of temporary workers.</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Understand Demand Costs &gt;</strong>&nbsp;From our experience, most businesses focus on the costs of supply and not the costs of demand. Understanding demand costs will deliver greater savings.</li>
<li><strong>Assess the business case &gt;</strong>&nbsp;For business units with low usage do this prior to placing an order for a temporary worker. For larger using business units, do this on an annual basis as part of workforce planning.</li>
<li><strong>Assess the alternatives &gt;</strong>&nbsp;You may require temporary resource but does that mean you require a temporary worker? Assessing the alternatives can deliver the same result at significantly less cost.</li>
</ol>

<h2>A practical guide: How to build the business case for neutral vendor managed services</h2>
<p>Buying and managing contingent labour effectively across large businesses can be complex. This is why so many organisations now work with specialist 'neutral vendor' Managed Service Provider (MSP) to manage suppliers of temporary and contract labour.</p>
<h3><em><strong>"...nothing is more important than understanding the needs of your customers, the line managers and other internal buyers..."</strong></em></h3>
<p>If you are a procurement professional involved in building a business case for this approach in your organisation, this guide will hopefully be a useful resource, it has been split into six simple and easy to follow steps that will take you from identifying the problem to putting forward your recommendations.</p>

<h2>A practical guide:&nbsp;How to buy complex services</h2>
<p>This step-by-step guide is aimed at procurement professionals and other stakeholders involved in the buying process.</p>
<p>Buying complex services is by definition never going to be a straightforward process, but if you don&rsquo;t get the buying process right, you&rsquo;ll be accused of not understanding the business and run the risk of stakeholders buying extensively off contract. It&rsquo;s important therefore to deliver a thorough tender and pre-tender process and this guide will show you how to achieve that.</p>

<p>Read this practical guide and you could save up to 5% of your total spend on temporary labour.</p>
<p>You'll get useful insights and tips on how to control your recruitment spend by managing the indirect costs of temporary labour.&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Key themes we cover in this guide</h3>
<p>This guide is for procurement or human resources professionals with responsibility for managing your organisation's usage of temporary workers.</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Contract management costs &gt;</strong>&nbsp;which are the resource costs associated with managing the use of temporary labour and recruitment agencies.</li>

<li><strong>Opportunity costs &gt;</strong>&nbsp;which result from inefficiency or a need to undertake a task again, such as a worker not being as productive as required or a worker leaving an assignment earlier than planned.</li>
</ol>

Indirect Costs Practical Guide

<p>UK procurement teams are pressured to make further cost-saving in a resource and increasingly talent-scarce marketplace.</p>
<p>The old way would hammer down costs from your suppliers. This won&rsquo;t work in today&rsquo;s contingent staffing environment where the impact of unsustainable and outdated tactics, will bring you risks and uncertain results.</p>
<p>In this guide,&nbsp;<strong>SOW Management: controlling labour costs in a talent-scarce market</strong>, we examine a smarter way to work. Comensura experts look at the bottom-line effects of replacing a time and materials (talent) approach with a statement of work (resource) model.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Three labour costs reviewed are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Control supply costs</li>
<li>Streamline resource expenditure</li>
<li>Regulate demand spend</li>
</ul>
<p>Engaging your resources under a statement of work model allows your company to budget, plan and expect cost savings.&nbsp;</p>

SOW Management: controlling labour costs in a talent-scarce market

<h2>In this guide, Comensura&rsquo;s services procurement experts explain why all spend (great and small) deserves the same rigorous oversight - and should be informed by the same high-quality data.</h2>
<p>All services suppliers are not created equal. In most large businesses, a small core group accounts for around 80% of total procurement spend. Effective management of this core spend is vital, but so is having central oversight of the remaining 20%.</p>
<h3>But how do you apply big-ticket centralisation to lower-volume spends?</h3>
<p>In this guide, we show why statement of work has become such a popular way to procure services cost-effectively. And why combining SOW with an intelligent technology platform is the key to making data-driven, strategic buying decisions at scale.</p>
<h3>Get your copy of the guide to discover:</h3>
<ul>
<li>the dangers of allowing any services procurement to go unmanaged</li>
