I've set them up temporarily but would be grateful if they could be formally incorporated into the set.  Advice on suitable UNSPCC codes would also be appreciated.

These are the 2 new proposed categories with the best fit UNSPSC, other comments welcome. Numbered version will be issued if requested.

And here are the suggestions for Highways:

 

Top Level	Level 2	Level 3
Building Construction Materials and Services	Fencing
Consultancy	Highways	Traffic Planning
Environmental Services	Graffiti Removal
	Street Cleansing
	Street Lighting
	Technical Equipment	Testing
	Waste Management	Waste Collection

Health and Safety	Services
Highways	Capital Improvements
	Carriageway surfacing
	Drainage
	Earthworks
	Emergency response

	Footway surfacing

	Intelligent Transport Systems
	Safety Audit
	Safety Engineering
	Signs and Lines
	Structures
	Surface Dressing
	Traffic Signals
	Verges
Highway Equipment and Materials	Services	Road Surveys
Horticultural	Trees and Shrubs
Traffic Management	Traffic Control

 

"Asylum" not "Assylum".

 

Could you be clearer about your Highways recommendations?  Fencing is shown twice and many of your other suggestions are already in the current Proclass list.  Or am I misunderstanding your layout?

 

 

Following receipt of the heading suggestions from SECE, CIL queried some of the classifications suggested. The transport questions have yet to be answered, but following clarification of the Social Care headings the following revisions are now offered for discussion as being more meaningful, and should hopefully analyse the spend information in a more effective and efficient way.

 

Other views on this are welcome from the forum.

At Surrey CC we have been developing our use of Proclass since last year. We've done a spend analysis etc and started reaping the benefits. However, we too had the problem with the existing Social Care categories. We had a major consultancy firm in doing some work with us in that area of spend, who came up with their own set, and I've just asked our managers to comment on how these might map to the SECE proposals above.

There were a few comments:

- we'd like to see respite care somewhere

- there's no Domiciliary Children's care?

- why have BME services when Proclass is 'specifically designed not to support policies' in this area?

All that said, we do welcome the initiative to develop this area.

I'm also pleased to see the numeric coding schema for categories, and am about to build that into my spend model.

I trust this helps - do drop a reply with contact details if you want to get in touch.
