Contracting – In or Out

Abstract

Describes approaches to potential cost savings that can be gained by contracting in or out through an external service agency. Examines the distinction between contracting in and the more permanent contracting out, in the light of some of the advantages of contracting. Concludes that with careful analysis it should be possible to select a range of services that can be handed to service agencies, leaving the organization to concentrate on its core functions.
