Public sector ''could benefit from outsourcing''

Public sector ''could benefit from outsourcing''Outsourcing some aspects of their operations could benefit public sector bodies, an expert claims.

Chairman of the National Outsourcing Association (NOA) Martyn Hart claims the benefits of doing so extend beyond simply reducing costs and could provide organisations with greater resources to call upon.

He advocates employing outside companies to carry out some services in order to allow public sector agencies to benefit from their experience handling large agreements.

Mr Hart's remarks may be of interest to operations management specialists in the public sector, as he added: "Organisations in the private sector are structured to be able to deliver some of the larger supply chain requests necessary when dealing with a large, national contract and can turn them around quickly and easily."

His comments come after a study by PricewaterhouseCoopers indicated public sector spending cuts will provide a boost to the outsourcing industry in the UK, as contractors are increasingly used for the delivery of services.ADNFCR-3058-ID-800116497-ADNFCR
