Wayne Welsby, from Improvement and Efficiency West Midlands, has just finished his presentation on the West Midlands Regional eAuction programme and has told delegates how the programme is now boasting £7m efficiency savings since April 2008.
Wayne has explained the benefits that authorities in the West Midlands are reaping from eAuctions. In summary he explained that Worcestershire County Council has saved around £2.5m on passenger transport eAuctions alone.
Shropshire Council has saved £587K on two very successful eAuctions with more planned from January 2010 onwards.
Elsewhere, Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council saved £420k on IT hardware, whilst Coventry City Council has saved £250k (£1m over four years) on home to school transport.
Wayne has also spoken on behalf of OGC about their first pan-government eAuction Centre of Excellence which aims to increase the impact of eAuctions in the public sector. The centre will have a remit to provide co-ordination and support for eAuctions across the wider public sector, particularly where there is scope for increased collaboration.
