VALUE FOR MONEY

PSA09 addresses the changing requirements of public sector organisations over time
through two key principles pay for what is needed, and choose software for different kinds
of needs rather than by product alone.

The agreement provides the opportunity for different statutory partners, such as police
forces, fire and rescue services, central Government departments and agencies, and local
authorities, to collaborate more productively using cost effective new solutions. PSA09
ensures that, through collaborative procurement practice, the whole public sector pays only
for what is needed, and benefits from the cost savings possible through this – from large
Government departments to small local authorities.
