LPSA-1
1. Salford’s first Local Public Service Agreement (LPSA-1) is nearing the end of the
programme period, having operated from July 2002 to March 2005.
2. The table attached at Annex 1 provides a summary of current performance against each
of the 12 targets utilising performance management information up to December 2004.
It must be stressed that assumptions in terms of Performance Reward Grant are only
estimates at this stage – final figures should be available in April/May.
3. At this point the performance information shows that:
a) Four targets (2, 3, 5, 8) may not be achieved and therefore will not attract
Performance Reward Grant;
b) 4 targets (7, 9, 10, 12) might be achieved attracting the full £500,687
Performance Reward Grant;
c) 4 targets (1, 4, 66, 11) may achieve a proportion of their target (i.e. over 60%)
and therefore that same proportion of Performance Reward Grant;
d) The estimated total of Performance Reward Grant to be secured ranges from
£2.6 - £3.5 million based on performance at the end of the programme period.
4. Final performance figures will be reported to Scrutiny Committee in May.
LPSA-2
5. Officers and partners have been developing Salford’s 2nd Generation Local Public
Service Agreement, and an initial submission, endorsed by Cabinet and Partners IN
Salford, was forwarded to the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (ODPM) in
November 2004.
6. The initial submission, framed around Cabinet and LSP priorities, identified a range of
potential key outcomes that would be translated further into indicators and targets
during the February/March period. This work is still on-going and meetings are
currently taking place with partners to determine a final set of 12 key targets that will
form the basis of the final submission. The timetable for this submission is currently
being negotiated with ODPM.
7. Further reports will be submitted to Scrutiny Committee at the final submission stage.
