The Council is facing a significant financial
challenge and has set an ambitious target of driving out £5m
over the next 2 financial years through transformation. It is
recognised that the Council does not have the necessary skills and
capacity to take this forward and is therefore looking to procure a
transformation partner to provide support and insight on what can
be achieved. This is considered to be an essential component of the
Council’s approach to the financial strategy and is set out
in the report to cabinet of 24 November 2020.
