Commissioning Strategy 

Strategic commissioning is a term which sounds complicated but put simply is the assessment and forecast of current and future needs and the linking of investment to services to meet these needs.  

We actively engage with our current providers, potential providers and community representatives in the assessment of needs and identification of gaps in service provision. We look at innovative solutions through options appraisal, evidence based interventions and support collaboration and partnership working between independent, voluntary and third sector providers and community groups to support service redesign.
