ONSITE SERVICES - STRATEGY
Commitment
onsite endeavours always
to provide the Council with a professional Facilities Management service
that emphasises the ethos of true public service.
Because we have developed excellent management information systems and
we employ key personnel with extensive operations experience, we are able
to maintain a low administrative costs base.
As a result more of the funding goes towards actually providing front
line services for the work of the Council.
Purchasing
onsite purchases food
and supplies through the authorities buying 
consortium contracts. This ensures onsite's rigid quality specifications
will be met. It also means that we can obtain volume savings for
the Council's customers and take advantage of bulk purchase opportunities
and market innovation.
Continuous
Improvement
onsite's clear commitment
in its Business Plan to Continuous Quality Improvement gives priority
to implementing and maintaining a high standard in Food Production, Cleaning
and Facilities Management Techniques throughout all Council premises.
Demonstrating
Competitiveness
onsite benchmarking with
similar organisations and comparisons with Industry norms ensures that
we strive always to maintain our competitive position.
This rigorous approach to our work identifies areas for Continuous Service
Improvement ensuring that we never take our privileged position within
the Council for granted.
Employee
Development
 onsite
has little capital or equipment.
By far its main asset is its employees. The unit is therefore committed
to staff development at all levels, evidenced through its Training Plan
and the East Ayrshire Council EAGER
programme.
Diet
and Health
School meals offer nutritionally
balanced, well presented food. The Scottish Executive's Hungry
for Success initiative aims to make school meals even healthier by:
- Increasing potatoes, pasta and rice
- Increasing fruit and vegetables
- Increasing fibre
- Reducing fat
- Reducing sugar and salt
- Using healthy cooking methods
Special
Catering
onsite would like to
draw your attention to Catering
Express where there is an online facility for ordering catering for
meetings and functions.
