Are you wondering how to get started on a different approach to commissioning, working with communities? Is the new procurement act leaving you uncertain about how to take forward new approaches to commissioning? Or perhaps you’ve heard of Human Learning Systems (HLS) but not sure what that means for commissioning?
This toolkit aims to answer some of those questions by offering practical guidance
for applying HLS at every stage of the commissioning cycle and highlighting examples from places who are embedding this kind of thinking in their commissioning and looking to do things differently.
The commissioning landscape might feel uncertain right now. But commissioners are presented with a choice around how they respond! You can seize the opportunity to think differently and creatively – to test new, more collaborative, community-focused approaches to commissioning as a route to achieving better outcomes at lower cost. And this guide gives you all you need to know!
