Your Membership Spend and Savings – Solicitors Framework
As you may know we now collect regular performance reports from the law firms appointed to the Solicitors Framework.
We are now able to compare year on year spend through the framework – so in the first two years of the latest framework those important numbers are as follows:
In 2016/17 you collectively spent over £2.2 million through 129 commissions, resulting in estimated savings of £425k.
In 2017/18 you collectively spent just under £4 million through 669 commissions, resulting in estimated savings of over £700k.
Thanks to you all in supporting the framework and generating these cost savings in addition to those important resource efficiencies, saving your time and energies for other tasks.
