Commissioning Support
Successful commissioning within the social care sector is about three simple steps but it is very easy to get lost in the complexities, whilst forming and implementing strategies. Care Commissioning Solutions (CCS), helps clients to remain focused on these three basic elements within a complex landscape and provides a bespoke solution to any commissioning dilemma.
Care Commissioning Support | SPECIFY
It sounds simple but what services do you actually want to commission? The key at this point is to be as specific as possible, you will want to think about cost, volume, outcomes, geographic spread, end users or customers and length of contract. Lack of detail at this stage will mean that providers will end up writing the specifications for you, and any non-compliance in the future will be difficult to fix.
Care Commissioning Support | SECURE
How will you ensure that the products or services you want will be delivered in the way that you want them at the price you want to pay? Are your deliverables do-able? Do providers exist that can meet your expectations? Is your procurement and tendering up to scratch? How are you dealing with the challenges of the personalisation agenda? What are your current relationships with providers like – can you take them with you on your journey?
Care Commissioning Support | MONITOR
How will you know if you’ve been successful – are you on track to achieve your outcomes? If not, why not? Are your providers clear on where they need to be, are they performing? Have you good working relationships with your key providers and are you working with them to solve your problems? Care Commissioning Solutions can help commissioners identify, procure and measure performance against agreed plans and targets. We can help you identify cost savings and improvement measures.
