Best Value is about ensuring that there is good governance and effective management of resources. Its focus is improvement, and delivering the best possible outcomes for the public.

The duty of Best Value applies to all public bodies in Scotland. The Police and Fire Reform (Scotland) Act 2012 places a requirement on the Authority to make arrangements which secure best value. It is a formal duty for the Authority and for the Chief Constable of Police Scotland.

Our Annual Report and Accounts includes reporting on Best Value within the Accountability Report. See ‘Related Content’ below.
