What is commissioning?

Commissioning- involves a cycle of Analyse, Plan, Do, Review, as follows:

  • Analyse: What have we got and what do we need? Analysing the support needed.
  • Plan: What should support look like? Planning the services including developing service specifications.
  • Do: What do we need to do to put support in place? Implementing the services and facilitating the market.
  • Review: Is the support meeting need? Monitoring what’s working and what needs improving and then starting the cycle again.

We work with service users, carers, providers and health. This is to make sure that the services are achieving the outcomes that matter to people.
