MFFS prospectus - Multi Force Shared Services
Multi-Force Shared Service Prospectus 02 MFSS Prospectus Overview We are delighted to invite your police force to take advantage of our Multi-Force Shared Service (MFSS) centre, which provides payroll, accounting, purchasing and human resources (HR) services using worldclass, proven technology and processes. Savings of 30-40% are achievable, representing return on investment (ROI) of 20%+. MFSS has a shared service transactional hub in Winsford, Cheshire, plus a payroll processing centre based in Northamptonshire. In addition to a fully managed IT system, there is a service desk for first-line support and additional advisory support for staff and managers. Forces retain their professional and decision support roles in-house, and governance is by a joint committee of partner forces. For the front line, MFSS enables IT-based self-service, for example online expense claims, minimising bureaucracy and paper forms. MFSS is a collaboration between the Cheshire Constabulary and Northamptonshire Police, supported by Capgemini. Now we are keen to recruit other forces as additional partners. Our solution offers the policing sector an attractive alternative to outsourcing. Services are provided for the police by the police, and accountability remains with the police. You get private-sector efficiency combined with governance by the partner forces: people who really understand police goals and constraints. With MFSS, the potential for savings is not capped as it would be with outsourcing. You can do whatever you want to increase your savings, for example through organisational restructuring. The same technology that underpins MFSS also supports wider corporate business services such as facilities and estates, and can potentially transform all police support functions. So there really is no limit to what you can save and what services can be shared. MFSS Prospectus 03 What is MFSS? MFSS is a live back-office shared service for police forces. It has been developed through a partnership between Cheshire and Northamptonshire Police, with private-sector support from systems integrator Capgemini. It is based on the principle of moving repeatable highvolume transactions to the MFSS service centre whilst retaining high-value strategic activities in force, close to the front line. It meets service levels that have been established to satisfy the specific needs of the police sector. MFSS is underpinned by t-Police, a pre-built Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Duty Management solution for the police service. t-Police includes a comprehensive set of processes aligned to top quartile independent industry benchmarks based on Oracle ERP and Crown DMS technology. Both solution and processes were validated by Cheshire and Northamptonshire Police against a national set of police requirements. customisation. This ensures that business benefits are maximised and ongoing support costs are reduced. n A solution built to national standards, making it straightforward to “on-board” new forces (i.e. bring them on to the system). Standards met include the National ACPO Chart of Accounts Structure, Olympics Policing Skills Categories, CIPFA and HMIC benchmarking codes and UNSPCC codes. Data that is mastered in a single application and made available to other applications and processes, maximising data re-use across processes. That means there really is “one version of the truth”. n A uniform user experience and common user interface. n Standard workflow-driven processes to support decision-making and process efficiency gains, with clearly identified touch points (i.e. interactions) with retained force functions (see figure 1). n MFSS offers: A comprehensive business intelligence (BI) and management reporting capability, which has been built to allow integrated HR and financial reporting. n A common, scalable technology platform supporting police-to-police collaboration, shared services and common, efficient processes. n Built-in integration to Zanzibar, the mandated National Police Procurement Hub (NPPH). n n 04 A “vanilla” commercial off-the-shelf solution with no MFSS Prospectus Northants Retained Retained Cheshire MFSS centre Service desk function Service management HR transaction processing Force D HR case management Retained Finance transaction processing Purchasing transactions Customer relationship Standardised reporting t-Police Continuous improvement Oracle E-Business DMS Reporting Document scanning Self-service Telephony* Connectivity Retained Training administration Email* Force A ERP administration Data quality ERP support (including IT) Force C Retained Retained Force B *Utilising existing technology at host force Figure 1. Interactions between MFSS and retained activities with the various police forces MFSS Prospectus 05 What can MFSS offer your force? MFSS’s strong ROI comes from a combination of a proven shared technology platform with best-in-class processes and governance. Together, these enable a predictable, fast-track transformation of your back office. n In addition to the cashable benefits, Cheshire and Northamptonshire are already realising the following benefits in specific back office areas. Forces that join us as new partners will benefit from the investment already made by Cheshire and Northamptonshire. t-Police, MFSS’s core system, provides standard pre-configured processes that make deployment significantly faster than a traditional ERP implementation. “Recruit to retire” HR process: n Standardisation of processes gives a degree of predictability regarding outcomes and delivery certainty that has evaded traditional ERP projects. HMIC’s feedback has been very supportive of our use of benchmark-aligned processes and Key Performance Indicators. n n You can expect benefits like these: n Rapid return on investment - Cheshire and Northamptonshire anticipate a £31m ROI over 10 years. On-boarding cost that is only about 30-40% of a typical new build/run. Significant reduction in full-time equivalents (FTEs) needed for HR business support through self-service and an integrated HR system. Improved management information and analytics capability through improved data quality and better tools. Reduction in the effort required to administer learning thanks to self-service course selection and automated notification of learning requirements, e.g. firearms certification renewal, with further potential to deliver training more efficiently through e-learning. Duty management: n Implementation timescales that are about 50% of a traditional approach, so that benefits are realised more quickly. n Figure 2 shows the cashable benefits realised by Cheshire and Northamptonshire in comparison to the equivalent approach using outsourcing. As the comparison illustrates, taking into account the upfront investment, the ROI is more than double that of outsourcing over a 10-year period. Future forces joining the MFSS will have a significantly reduced upfront investment so the return on investment comparison is even more attractive. 30 25 Cash benefits 20 15 10 5 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 (5) (10) (15) Year MFSS £m Outsourcing £m Figure 2. Return on investment – MFSS versus outsourcing (adjusted net present value) 06 MFSS Prospectus 8 9 Reduction in overtime resulting from better visibility and control. Lower administration costs through more efficient and timely deployment planning of officers, automated staff payment and automated overtime processing and administration. n Less absence, because better recording improves analysis, scheduling and the return-to-work process. Fewer FTEs required for transactional processing and support activities because processes are leaner. n Improved financial reporting with our financial statement generator. n n More effective deployment of police officers through better decision support for planners, with rostering based on skills and capability, and better visibility of capacity shortfalls. n Improved front-line services to citizens: the right officer is in the right place at the right time. Improved financial management, with timely budget reporting and improved budget forecasts against outcome. n Improved budgetary control through improved visibility of commitments and accruals. n More effective and efficient bank statement processes, with automated reconciliation and journal processing. n n Finance procurement and performance (FPP): n Reduced purchase prices because of better compliance and use of Zanzibar - more spend is under management and maverick spend is reduced. n n Fewer FTEs required for procurement support because less time is spent on managing contracts, tendering, requisitioning, purchasing and paying, thanks to efficient processes and self-service. n Better financial planning and decision-making: quality and accessibility of financial data improve, as do analytics and reporting. Fewer FTEs needed for analytics and management information reporting because of more accurate, accessible data and better tools. MFSS Prospectus 07 Why Cheshire and Northamptonshire have set up MFSS The Cheshire Constabulary and Northamptonshire Police had both centralised their transactional services and separated them from the more value-adding advisory and planning functions. They recognised that investment in an integrated technology platform with self-service functionality could provide significant further efficiency savings in the provision of those transactional services. Together, working with Capgemini, they set out to evaluate the business case. The t-Police technology that they envisaged using could also provide integrated information for managers and enable closer alignment or merging of corporate services functions. In the longer term, this technology would enable further sharing of both transactional and advisory services with other forces. Sharing the cost meant the investment in t-Police was affordable in comparison to the cost of replacing existing disparate systems. 08 MFSS Prospectus The MFSS Target Operating Model (TOM) was built on best practice shared service metrics and industry standard service levels and processes. The model was designed to become leaner and more efficient over a three-year period. The benchmark for the business case was that the two-force model had to stand up on its own in terms of return on investment over a 10-year period. Examination of the TOM made it clear that 30-40% savings were achievable, representing ROI of 20%+. The business case was so compelling that Cheshire and Northamptonshire decided to go ahead. The result was MFSS. As new forces join the MFSS, both they and the existing forces will benefit from economies of scale which will further reduce the cost of the shared service and deliver additional benefits via the MFSS Sustain and Improve framework.

Our support for the “transform” stage of your journey MFSS Prospectus 09 Governance is retained by police One of the advantages of MFSS over outsourcing is that our services are provided for the police by the police, and accountability remains with the police. You enjoy best-practice efficiency, but governance is the responsibility of the partner forces, who share the same goals and constraints. The Sustain and Improve governance framework is focused on end-to-end process improvement. It is about improving services at every opportunity in order to increase productivity, reduce cost and add value to the front line. The success of MFSS hinges on the capability of the MFSS and partner forces to embrace this continuous service improvement ethos, so your participation in governance will be very important. The structure of the governance framework is shown in figure 4, with an indication of how you can help to drive MFSS forward at various levels.
