Best Value Performance Indicators (BVPIs)
Latest: BVPIs have been replaced by a new set of measures known as the National Indicator Set (NIS). This was announced in October 2007, after the Comprehensive Spending Review that year. The NIS will be the only set of indicators by which central government will manage the performance of local government. It replaces all other sets of indicators, including Performance Assessment Framework (PAF) indicators, from 1st April 2008. For more information see the Department for Communities and Local Government website: CLG – Local Government Performance
Prior to 2008/09, the Audit Commission monitored our performance using a national, standard set of Best Value Performance Indicators (BVPIs). They were set by the Department for Communities and Local Government (CLG) and were used to help monitor, analyse and compare local authority achievements.
In the BVPI tables available to download below, for each BVPI the following information is given:
- results for 2007/08 and previous years (estimated outturns are indicated with an ‘e’)
- the average performance of all England councils and County Councils (where available)
- the East Sussex County Council quartile position (against all England councils).
BVPI performance is collected by the Audit Commission and they publish the results for all authorities in January each year (2007/08 BVPI performance to be published by the Audit Commission in January 2009).
2007/08 was the last statutory period of collection and reporting of the BVPIs. The BVPI results for 2007/08 are available to download below.
