Commissioned by the Department of Environment, Food and Rural
Affairs (Defra), Mott MacDonald undertook a review of waste
management contracts for the Greater London Waste Disposal
Authorities. The aim was to determine potential savings that could
be achieved through the alignment of contracts, economies of scale
and improvements in procurement.
The computer-based DESE Toolkit can identify a
variety of efficiency savings in waste managementThe
exercise also involved the development of Defra Environmental
Services Efficiencies Toolkit (DESE) for Waste Authorities. The
toolkit is available on the Defra website and enables all
authorities to calculate potential efficiency savings wihtin their
waste management service for inclusion in their Annual Efficiency
Statement (AES).
Its aim was the quantitative assessment of their procurement
practices and assistance in their decision making, in order to
achieve efficiency savings.
