14. OCS/CEF in April 2015 Fewer people and posts delivering services in OCS and CEF Most people will be working for another employer Another public service provider OR Another private service provider Very few people and posts will remain working directly for the LA. And if you remain working for the LA, almost certainly your post will change in some way, and the way you operate will change because the way we conduct a lot of our business will change

Current Timelines If your service is included in the procurement for Joint Venture or Outsourcing  PIN Notice – we find out what the shape of the OJEU should be - Jan 14  OJEU Notice – we tell the market what we want - April 14  Dialogue – we work out what we can get and what cost - May to Dec 14  Preferred Supplier – we decide who will do it - January 15  Final Sign Off – it’s all public - February 15  Transition Period (Could be three) Change A to B - from Feb 15

16. Current Timelines By January 2015 you should know what this means for you Working for another employer (could be a number of different employers) OR Working for Oxfordshire County Council ( but it will be different) BUT There may be job losses in some areas and that may mean redundancies We will continue to have quarterly updates but change how we do that ….
