SOCIAL CARE SPOTLIGHT 2 - Commissioning in a difficult environment

Agencia is aware that, through service change, your organisation may require support in the new commissioning environment.

We are able to support your organisation by providing a range of commissioning support services.  Whether you are commissioning for outcomes or developing commissioning competencies, we can provide advice and practical hands-on support to ensure that you are able to undertake “intelligent commissioning”.  We will ensure that you have the right tools and techniques for commissioning effectively across pathways.  We offer specific expertise in:

  • Identifying good commissioning: principles and practice.
  • Defining what you are trying to achieve through commissioning.
  • Designing evidence-based joint or integrated commissioning models and approaches.
  • Separating commissioning from provision; structural change.
  • Commissioning for efficiency, cost reduction and outcomes.
  • Achieving quality improvement and securing cost reduction.
  • Shaping the provider market.
  • Migrating to payment by results.
  • Governance issues and the lessons learned from the NHS.
  • Achieving financial incentives for commissioning organisations.
  • Developing capacity and competencies.
  • Outcome-based commissioning.
  • Whole-systems thinking, bringing all facets of public services together to tackle specific issues.
  • Working with the voluntary and community sector.
  • Market engagement and development.
  • Alternative funding models.
  • Joint commissioning across organisational boundaries.
  • New models of delivery - such as mutual and joint venture companies.
