Annual Report 2010-11

This report marks the third year of support from Capital Ambition to London boroughs and their partner organisations, to support the delivery of key projects to further improve efficiency and/or deliver improvements in performance.

The portfolio of projects receiving funding from Capital Ambition is forecast to achieve efficiencies of £725 million by 2015, of which £584 million is directly attributable to Capital Ambition funding.

The portfolio includes a range of major collaborative initiatives to deliver significant savings and improve London’s buying power through better procurement. These developments are down to the leaders, senior managers and individuals within London boroughs and those of our partners, who have the foresight, energy and commitment to work together more effectively to deliver greater efficiencies, radically change the way services are delivered and/or engage more effectively with residents. A small number of examples of such exemplary work are given within this report, and more details can be found on this website.

In this report are just some of the examples of how London boroughs will continue to both preserve their own unique identity with residents and leverage scale efficiencies by taking more coherent approaches.

As the future financial climate continues to impact resources and available capacity, these and other examples of working together on more commonly specified requirements and of buying once, not many times, will be vital to the protection of key services to the most vulnerable in the community.
