Single Outcome Agreement

An agreement was published by the Scottish Government on 14th November 2007, which sets sets out the relationship between the Scottish Government and local councils.  Under this agreement, the Scottish Government has set out the funding it will provide in return for the delivery of key commitments by local councils.

Each Council was required to establish a Single Outcome Agreement (SOA) setting out what their priorities are for their areas, communities and people.   This Single Outcome Agreement is between our Community Planning Partnership and the Scottish Government.

The SOA shows how local priorities set out in our Corporate Plan fit with national priorities set out by the Scottish Government.  These national priorities are aimed at making Scotland wealthier, fairer, safer and greener, and its population smarter, healthier and stronger.

The SOA sets out overall priorities for our area and gives public, private and voluntary agencies the chance to strengthen how they work together to make a real difference to the lives of people in Perth and Kinross.

The Council supports delivery of the Single Outcome Agreement through the commitments it has made in the Corporate Plan 2009-12.  The Business Management and Improvement Plans (BMIPs) of all Council Services also demonstrate how they help to deliver the amibitious outcomes.
