The outsourced supply chain – public sector risks

Rob Allison, Managing Director, Zurich Municipal: “One significant challenge to public sector organisations is the Comprehensive Area Assessment (CAA) which took effect on 1 April 2009. Controlling supply chain partnerships is essential and local authorities need a greater say in how their services are delivered.”

The outsourced business model is lean with little margin for surprises; understanding and managing its risks is critical. Zurich Municipal has worked with David Kaye, the UK’s foremost expert on supply chain management to produce a Briefing Paper for local authorities and their service providers to better understand the risks and opportunities of outsourcing and partnerships.
