xpoint® selected by Neath Port Talbot to support redesign of e-procurement

Neath Port Talbot / Castell-nedd Port Talbot (NPT) is the third most populous County Borough Council in
Wales, stretching from the coast to the borders of the Brecon Beacons National Park.


The Council’s main strategy for the future focuses on “Doing What Matters” which includes achieving
significant financial savings so that it can deliver a balanced budget.


The scale and pace of the NPT change initiatives call for a level of resource and involvement that demand
a new approach. Cardiff Business School guided NPT to establish an infrastructure that helps ambitious
year on year objectives to be achieved through:
• the adoption of common processes to solve common problems
• ensuring the creative energies of all staff are engaged
• reduced waste – no duplication, faster learning, problems fixed once are shared.


We are proud that xpoint® has been selected to be NPT’s infrastructure of choice, and is now helping NPT
deliver a first major area of change – e-procurement.


Commenting on the announcement, CEO Alex Clark said “The "Doing What Matters" programme is central
to the provision of critical services across the County. We are extremely pleased that xpoint® is
playing an important part in making this happen at pace.”
