Assessment Criteria
The goal of the SAVE Award is to produce ideas that will yield savings while also improving the way that government operates. As such, submissions are judged according to the following criteria:
Does the idea reduce costs in a way that is concrete and quantifiable?
Does the idea improve the way that government operates by:
- Improving the quality of output at lower costs; or
- Simplifying processes to reduce administrative burden; or
- Improving the speed of government operations to improve efficiency?
Some of the popular ideas submitted were already in the works. All ideas will be sent to the relevant agencies to review for potential action, including inclusion in the budget.
