The commissioning cycle in social care is often like other commissioning cycles at first glance. The terminology of the stages in a commissioning cycle may vary and some councils may add in additional steps. However, there is often four main steps at the core of every local authority’s commissioning cycle. These include:
Assessment
Planning
Contracting
Monitoring
Other times the commissioning cycle stages can be referenced as:
Analyse
Plan
Review
8. Monitoring
- Assessment
We support local authorities to identify what the needs of your local population are.
This can be where local authorities will adopt a population health management approach so local authorities can gather health outcomes across a population in a specific area to assess their care needs.
- Planning
We use the information collected from the assessment process to design ways in which those needs can be met best.
We start with the planning stage with a quick review of the key findings from the assessment to identify gaps and then establish how these can be filled. During the planning stage a more detailed review will often take place to decide what is needed, what is available, and what the supply and demand capacity currently looks like.
Our Planning often lead to the production of a commissioning strategy that outlines what actions will be taken and why, as well as the targets to be achieved.
- Contracting
The contracting step of the commissioning cycle is where we suggest the procurement strategy and support organisation procure goods and services that are fit for purpose, base of on identified needs
- Monitoring
The monitoring stage is where we support local authorities assess the performance of providers, the authority itself, and its impacts, to analyse what targets have been achieved against the commissioning strategy put forward in the planning stage.
place to lead to better data-led commissioning decisions being made for your community.
We support Local Authorities at every stage in:
- Developing a clearer understanding of the complex needs of their community including considering the whole needs of person from practical and medical, to social and emotional
- Identify which are the areas of poor performance
- Involve people who use services and unpaid carers at every stage of the commissioning process
- Improve your knowledge of the services that are already provided
- Adopt an outcomes-led approach
- Make sure services are continually assessed
- Encourage service providers to show how they will increase an individual’s independence
- Set high standards for monitoring
- Consider opportunities that will make care deliveries more sustainable
