The partnership is made up of three key aspects: 1. A Council-wide structured change programme, known as Transformation. This will create the capacity for the Council to save up to 40% of its revenue budget over the next ten years, with a series of business cases being developed over the course of the contract. The Council will have final decision on which changes to proceed with.=20 2. Delivery of four initial services - ICT, Revenues, Benefits and Facilities Management. Mouchel will continue to base these jobs in Bournemouth. The partnership will see the standards for these services improved to be within the best 25% in the country by 2013, whilst also saving 5.9% a year on their running costs. 3. Developing the local economy including the creation of up to 650 new, private-sector jobs in Bournemouth, with 350 jobs of these guaranteed contractually by Mouchel. These will be created in the emerging field of carbon management, through the creation of a national Centre for Excellence, and the regional provision of support services (such as IT and facilities management) to other public sector organisations. Assurances were given at Council by Mouchel as to their financial position and ability to deliver the contract as offered. Cllr Peter Charon, Leader of the Council, said, "This is probably the most significant decision Council has taken for many years and it is not something that a single Member has considered lightly. In a series of four meetings over three days, the Business Case has been scrutinised, debated and ultimately, this evening, accepted." He added, "It is the combination of service improvement, cost reduction, council-wide transformation, a flexible contract that lets us maintain control, and added benefit to the wider economy that make this a once in a generation opportunity." =20 After a required 'cooling off' period, it is expected that contracts will be signed by 30th November. Cllr John Beesley, Cabinet Member for Resources said, "This has been many years in the planning, and demonstrates Bournemouth's ability to plan ahead, predict the difficult times and prepare effectively for them. I am confident that working with Mouchel gives us the best possible opportunity of responding to the announced Government funding cuts, whilst allowing us the flexibility to respond to circumstances that are as yet unknown, such as future legislation or further changes to our funding regime."
