BSA Policy Manifesto 2010 Three policy priorities for the business and outsourced services industry To really maximise the potential of the industry the BSA urges the government to take action in the following areas: productivity, procurement and fair competition.
	BSA Pensions Discussion Paper Changing pensions transfer terms for better outsourcing Well-structured changes to pensions transfer terms will enable more efficient delivery of public services from a greater range of providers, provide greater access to sources of capital for the improved delivery of public services and enhance Fair Deal objectives for protecting employees' benefits.
	Defence Procurement: A discussion paper How the Ministry of Defence can improve Value for Money in the provision of support services Whoever is in government this year, shaping a defence policy amid austerity will be difficult. The Ministry of Defence must look for new ways to make savings while not compromising quality of service. This paper draws on BSA members' experience and is intended to be a constructive reflection on how procurement processes can be developed further.
