Integrated Commissioning

“Commissioning” is a broad term which covers partnerships of a non-financial nature, as well as market analysis and capacity building. Our definition of integrated commissioning is about working on a partnership basis and within partnership planning structures to:

Identify and assess needs
Identify resources available
Analyse the market
Establish priorities / choices
Identify relationships and accountabilities between commissioners and potential deliverers
Decide how resources are to be used
Evaluate the capacity of potential providers
Decide how best to deliver / provide services
Where appropriate, engage in formal procurement processes
Monitor and evaluate service delivery, effectiveness and value for money.

The Every Child Matters/Change for Children agenda has consistently reaffirmed the need for effective joint working between agencies and has emphasised the lead role of children’s trust arrangements in developing and implementing effective integrated commissioning arrangements.
