Strategic commissioning will help us realise our vision for Leicestershire through the way in which we design, develop and deliver proved and effective services that meet the needs of our citizens. It will be centred on people, collaborative, better evidenced, sustainable and challenging.
Leicestershire Together has produced a comprehensive guide to Strategic Commisioning. Below is a summary guide and a series of specialist, slightly more detailed guides to the different activities that compirse the commissioning process.
- A summary guide to Strategic Commissioning
- Background to Commissioning, including Governance arrangements
- The ‘Analyse’ stage
- The ‘Plan’ stage
- The ‘Do’ stage
- The ‘Review’ stage
This section of the website will
- Explain clearly what strategic commissioning is, and the sequence of activities typically involved in doing it well.
- Set out the vision for what good strategic commissioning looks like, with ‘success criteria’ showing what needs to be achieved at each stage.
- Illustrate how the practicalities of strategic commissioning should work, such as how different officers and groups of Leicestershire Together can collaborate, who is responsible for doing the work and how mechanisms for governance and challenge should function.
- Develop a common language and understanding in Leicestershire for what strategic commissioning is, why it is effective, and how it should be done.
