Develop the risk appetite and risk assessment approach incl. risks of doing/not doing, national standings and best practice impacts cost translation. The Opening of Opportunities Review the PwC report which identifies a potential 40m savings opportunity and provide framework plan for further investigation. Support in the assessment of Stop/Go/Delay opportunities/decisions aligned to the 3rd Party Spend and broader cross organisational commissioning activity being undertaken within CPP and the wider Council commercial landscape. Proactively identify underperforming contracts and recommendations for reimbursement. Proactively research additional/alternative income sources such as through bids and grants, services charges, and others, which to date have been unable to be fully optimised due to capacity constraints. The outcomes will be required to enable: Consolidation & Standardisation - the design of an end-to-end organisational commissioning and commercial strategy and model that enables transparency and understanding across the eco-system and architecture. Setting of clear standards and policies and evidence led decision making through more robust commercial scrutiny and better use of data.
