Agreed. Which is why I like all the various suggestions you have made at points through the document to make clear that franchises need to collaborate with external partners.

My concern was simply at the level of this overarching principle about partnership, where it seemed to me that your new language suggested that public/private partnership should only take place via franchises.

Hi Chris,

I hope you had a good break.

My point about franchises is that external stakeholders will often need to participate in them (e.g. where they have salient expertise which government might not have). Whilst this would be at government invite, I don’t want to see hard barriers put in between government and the other stakeholders. For example, some of the more far-reach proposals by the current UK Government could place major parts of service delivery outside government. Without, those bodies full participation in the relevant franchise marketplace(s), it would be very difficult to make such models work.

Sometimes, external technical expertise (e.g. a standards body working within a particular sector) could also be relevant and effective participants.

Regards

Having been away on holiday, I’m finally catching up with your and others’ comments. Mostly I’ve been in full agreement with them all, but I’m not sure about this comment. While I’m all for promoting the franchise model, I think this principle is about something wider than franchises, and indeed wider than service delivery. It would include for example, partnership schemes between government and industry to drive up home PC adoption, or to improve ICT access and skills in schools. So I’d prefer to stick with the original broader wording, but keeping your words on jointly-owned objectives. So I am proposing:

“Recognise that other market players (in the private, voluntary and community sectors) will have a significant influence on citizen attitudes and behaviour - so build partnerships which enable the market and others to with you to deliver jointly-owned objectives.”

Regards,
