Dorset County Council has successfully delivered the first version of its Public Services Network (PSN).

The PSN was procured in July 2011, and represented the first council to use the service for tendering for communication services across the county.

The PSN has been designed for employing shared services, including implementing a public sector framework across school sites, council departments and libraries.

Elaine Taylor, Director for Corporate Resources, Dorset County Council, said: “The completion is a tremendous step in creating easier pathways for shared public services for Dorset residents by enabling more coordinated working between government departments and agencies in the county.”
