<p>Outsourcing is an important component in a “mixed economy” of government service
provision which includes in-house and the voluntary sector. Research commissioned
by the previous government has shown that outsourcing can deliver savings of some
twenty to thirty percent.</p><p>Decisions on whether to outsource any particular service
are made on a case by case basis according to Treasury guidance and the newly published
Outsourcing Playbook. This guidance aims to ensure government makes well evidenced
assessments when deciding whether to outsource a public service and helps government
and industry work better together to deliver high quality public services.</p>
