Direct Service Organisation
A term used primarily in the 1990s to describe a local authority department involved with the delivery of a contracted service, such as grounds maintenance work. The DSO would be contrasted with that of a private contractor who may have been successful in tendering for a particular contract. The term primarily arose due to the requirements of the Local Government Act 1988.
