This OEP has found that there is significant scope for public sector property and land to be used more efficiently and effectively. The recommendations for strengthening accountability and performance management are a crucial part of the new approach, for improving the efficient use of property.
Over the next 10-year period, The OEP estimates the potential for savings from improved efficiency to be around £20 billion in receipts from property disposals (excluding council housing), and savings in running costs of up to £5 billion a year by the end of that period.
Cultural and managerial change is key to achieving a step-change in performance. Some organisations have already substantially met this challenge, and others can learn from them. Principles of good practice need to be applied consistently across all parts of the public sector.
According to the Office of National Statistics, the public sector’s property assets have a book value of £370 billion. This represents about £6,000 worth of assets for every UK resident.
This conference represents the opportunity for organisations to showcase and discuss practical solutions as well as network with key senior staff from across the whole public sector. In addition to exhibition space, there are clear opportunities to sponsor specific break-out sessions.
As with all of our conferences delegates are drawn from across the UK public sector, as the issues are common across all sectors.
