Best Value is a process used to ensure that local authorities provide quality services in a cost effective way. It is driven by the need to be economic, efficient, and effective. The Best Value process has a simple methodology which is used when reviewing services, to ensure that effective outcomes are reached, and robust improvement plans put in place.
