About The Organization:
The Council on Efficient Government (CEG) was created by the Florida Efficient Government Act of 2006 in response to a growing trend to outsource government services and jobs. Legislators recognized that agencies should focus on their core missions and deliver services by outsourcing or contracting with private sector vendors, whenever vendors can more effectively and efficiently provide services and reduce the overall cost of government. Legislators also recognized that business cases to outsource should be evaluated for feasibility, cost-effectiveness, and efficiency before an agency proceeds with any significant outsourcing of services and reduction of government staff. The mission of the CEG is to promote fair and transparent best business practices in government in order to foster accountability, competition, efficiency and innovation in the way state agencies deliver services to Florida’s citizens. The Council on Efficient Government (CEG) will assist an agency during any stage of an outsourcing project as requested by the agency or at the direction of the Council or the Governor.
The Council is made up of seven members appointed by the Governor and is governed by subsections 287.0573(2) through (7) of the Florida Statutes.
