Need to Strengthen Commissioning Arrangements Sample Clauses

Need to Strengthen Commissioning Arrangements. 5.1.6.1 Organisations involved in the LAA are just beginning the process of challenging each other on targets. There is a move within the Blocks to move away from a process of using bids for services with a view to moving to commissioning activities aimed to secure specific outcomes to meet LAA targets. 5.1.6.2 Clarity is needed around which actions are effective in producing the required outcomes if this approach is to work to meet LAA targets. 5.1.6.3 Clarity is also needed about the role of CSPs in achieving outcomes. Constituencies should be required to demonstrate that they are doing what works. Once again, accurate performance data is critical in this regard and to ensuring that all partners accept and are focused on the priority areas. There needs to be clear evidence of good progress against targets. 5.1.6.4 We received evidence of the different views taken as to what constitutes commissioning. What constitutes commissioning for one CSP may be different for another CSP. 5.1.6.5 There is a need to ensure that all CSPs have a common approach to commissioning and clearly constituencies need to be given advice on the commissioning approach. 5.1.6.6 We take the view that commissioning is where the CSP identifies what outcomes it wants to achieve and then invites different organisations to bid for how they might achieve that. This involves a systematic approach to assessing the needs of an area/local people, mapping what services currently exist, leading to a commissioning strategy. The process should include identification (and development) of providers, procurement, workforce planning and quality monitoring. 5.1.6.7 Whilst we accept that time constraints may not always allow this to happen we nevertheless recognise that it is good practice. We also recognise that training may be necessary to enable informed decisions to be made regarding commissioning. 5.1.6.8 Commissioning should include ways of engaging with potential new partners and groups and there is a role for locally based co-ordinators (eg. PCT employees in relation to teenage conceptions) in assisting with the commissioning of projects. Recommendation Responsibility Completion Date R13 That, the Birmingham Strategic Partnership be asked to give consideration to the most appropriate way for advice on commissioning to be given to Constituency Strategic Partnerships by partner organisations.
