The report before the committee set out the base budget for oneSource services for both shared and non-shared for the financial year 2018/2019 including the apportionment between the three partner Councils.

It was reported that the base budget for oneSource shared is £34.410m. The net expenditure is funded by the three partner Councils based on set percentages agreed on a service by service basis. The £34.410m is budgeted to be funded overall as follows, however the actual percentage splits are individual to each service.

•           7.53% by the London Borough of Bexley

•           44.41% by the London Borough of Havering

•           48.32% by the London Borough of Newham

The 2018/19 base budget for oneSource non-shared is £7.345m, this takes into consideration non recurring funding from 2017/2018 and agreed growth and savings for 2018/2019.

Members were assured that advances in technology and the increasing digitisation of services, resulting in the reduction of manual-based processes would deliver the savings forecast in the report.

The Joint Committee noted the based budget for oneSource services for 2018/2019.
