2 1. Policy Statement Ekaya s mission statement, strategic objectives, values and service delivery are underpinned by Value for Money (VfM). This policy links what we spend and how we deploy our staff and resources directly with the strategic objectives and the service standards we deliver, our performance achievements and customer satisfaction. The strategic objectives include : 1. Being providers of good quality value for money services through continuous improvement and listening to our customers. 2. Meeting our stakeholders needs through joint working (unity) and good governance within our business operations. 3. Eager to grow through new initiatives and positive partnerships. 2. What is Value for Money? VfM is about achieving the right balance between the three E s - Economy, Efficiency and Effectiveness. Essentially this requires Ekaya to assess the impact of all its costs, to best meet it s stakeholders needs. This means spending efficiently. Economy is the price paid for what goes into providing a service. Efficiency is a measure of productivity or how much is gained from what is put in. Effectiveness is a measure of the impact achieved and can be both qualitative and quantitative. VfM is high when there is an optimum balance between all three 'E s'; relatively low costs, high productivity and successful outcomes. This can be seen in the VfM flow chart overleaf: Date reviewed: August Next review: July 2016

3 3. The Value for Money Standard The Homes and Communities Agency s framework for social housing has a specific Value for Money Standard. This standard requires that : Registered providers articulate and deliver a comprehensive and strategic approach to achieving VfM in meeting organisational objectives. Boards maintain a robust assessment of the performance of all their assets and resources. This will take into account the interests of and commitments to stakeholders. This information should be available to stakeholders in a transparent and accessible format. This means managing resources economically, efficiently and effectively to provide quality services and homes, and planning for and delivering on-going improvements in value for money. Regulatory reporting on VfM is required to the HCA from September As part of that process Ekaya will, on an annual basis, publish a self-assessment which sets out, in a way that is transparent and accessible to stakeholders, how they are achieving value for money in delivering their purpose and objectives. The assessment shall: Enable stakeholders to understand the return on assets measured against the Organisation s objectives Set out the absolute and comparative costs of delivering specific services Evidence the VfM money gains that have been and will be made and how these have and will be realised over time 4. Value for Money Strategy Ekaya will establish a VfM strategy on a three year basis and review this annually to ensure that this continues to meet the organisation s objectives, the business plan and annual plan and other key strategies. It will also meet tenant s needs and expectations and take into account the operating environment, risk management and regulatory requirements. A register of VfM initiatives will be updated on a monthly basis and presented and discussed at manager s meetings and highlights included in the management accounts. A VfM self-assessment will be undertaken to compare progress against objectives and previous performance. Date reviewed: August Next review: July 2016

4 5. Key Strategic Objectives A programme will be in place to monitor and review expenditure and enable scrutiny of initiatives and deliver a minimum of 5% savings each year. The objectives include: o Promotion Embedding of VfM principles within the culture of the organisation. o People - Encouraging economic awareness amongst staff and VfM principles within all business operations. o Procurement Creation, maintenance and promotion of economic, efficient and effective purchasing principles and continuous review of contracts and services o Minimising waste from our business operations and review VfM in each department. o Partnerships Communicate and encourage principles with all our partners. o Improvements in the stock conditions through seeking improvement opportunities. o Green - Provision of energy saving, water conservation and waste minimisation advice to our employees and customers. 6. Goals and Objectives Culture of the Organisation Value for Money will be embedded in the culture of organisation and is a key objective in the Business Plan and the delivery of the Annual Plan. Benchmarking Ekaya will benchmark performance with other organisations to analyse areas of the business and learn from higher performing/ lower cost organisations. Partnerships We will evidence VfM and engage in partnership / Cost Sharing Group working where this would result in cost savings. Budgets Budgets will be set based on past performance and predicted resources required in the new financial year. Accounts accounts will be provided to enable the management team to effectively manage their budgets and achieve value for money. Financial Statements Financial statements will demonstrate control and assist in enabling efficiencies to be maximised and VfM achieved. Date reviewed: August Next review: July 2016

5 Procurement We will establish an effective methodology for procuring goods and services that enables Ekaya to achieve VfM aims and objectives. Customer engagement We will involve residents in our tenders and will ask our key business partners to evidence how they have helped us deliver VfM as part of our contract with them. Reporting We will record VfM savings within our KPI and other reports maintaining a VfM Register (Appendix 1). Performance results will be reported to Senior and Teams and via our website and customer newsletters during the year. We will report to the Board on VfM through quarterly management accounts and selfassessment reports. The Board will sign off the annual regulatory Value for Money self- assessment report prior to submission in September each year which will be published annually in line with the requirements of our regulators the Homes & Communities Agency (HCA). 7.
