Collaborative commissioning

Improve outcomes by using resources better

We look beyond the narrow focus of traditional commissioning. We believe that traditional approaches often don’t reflect the complex realities of the issues we’re all trying to address, they often encourage siloed working and competition over collaboration and better outcomes. They often reinforce power dynamics, that prioritise process over people.

How can we help?

We support commissioners to explore how ongoing learning and adaptation and whole system collaboration can push forward their practice, creating opportunities for change which rebalance power to people and communities to enable better outcomes through:

  • Training programmes
  • Strategic reviews
  • Bespoke support and capacity building
  • Embedding a focus on commissioning as part of wider strategies.
