What does 'best value' mean?
Article Abstract:
The best value initiative is to replace the compulsory competitive tendering (CCT) system for local authorities in the UK. The change is a government response to allegations that CCT has led to the provision of low quality services. The government will encourage public bodies to opt for service delivery solutions which offer the best value, rather than for those which are cheapest. Price will continue to be a factor in the new initiative, but it will be considered alongside other factors including efficiency performance indicators and stakeholder consultation reports.
