The more data that is available, the better. For example, when procurement frameworks are produced where there is a recommended supplier, data is obtained from the supplier on how many times that framework was used, which gives us some indication of whether the framework has been useful. We are able to calculate cost savings for different Departments. A job is done whereby cost savings across different Departments are calculated and there is an indication then to what extent the OGP is saving money. One of the key performance indicators for the OGP is cost saving and that is reported in the budget every year.
