Examination of Estimates of Expenditure 2003-04 CONTROLLING OFFICER'S REPLY TO INITIAL WRITTEN QUESTION Head : 25 – Architectural Services Department Subhead : Programme : (2) – Facilities Upkeep (3) – Facilities Development Reply Serial No. ETWB(W)004 Question Serial No. Controlling Officer : Director of Architectural Services Director of Bureau : Secretary for the Environment, Transport and Works Programme (3) - Facilities Development) Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury (for Programme (2) – Facilities Upkeep) Question : In 2002, the Architectural Services Department, after reviewing its organization, management and mode of operation, announced a plan to gradually outsource its maintenance and architectural projects to the private sector in the following seven years. According to your analysis, the lower estimates for Programmes (2) and (3) in 2003-04 are mainly due to the effect of civil service pay cut. The progress of the outsourcing scheme, and its effect on your budget, is not mentioned. Can you provide the relevant expenditure items related to the scheme and the amount of savings achieved through outsourcing, if any ? Asked by : Hon. SHEK Lai-him, Abraham Reply : Architectural Services Department (Arch SD) has increased the outsourcing of professional and technical services of building projects from 35% in 2001-02 to 54% in 2002-03 to consultants. The outsourcing will continue to increase in 2003-04. For maintenance works, Arch SD has outsourced 20% to 50% of a range of activities, including the employment of consultants for design and supervision of some minor works, co-ordination and reporting of minor maintenance, and account checking of maintenance works. Gototop 0628 We will continue to outsource further the professional and technical services for new building projects, devolve a range of maintenance activities, and strengthen the advisory roles. The Department will also re-deploy posts flexibly to meet the increase in expenditure on minor works and strengthen advisory services. Signature Name in block letters C. H.
