Commissioning Toolkit
The commissioning toolkit is being designed to bridge the gap between the vast amount of literature on commissioning and the practitioner. It links together our earlier Better Buying diagnostic with an increasing number of specific concise tools.
The gap we are trying to fill
There are vast amounts of literature on commissioning. In 2007 there were at least 50 central government initiatives covering the topic within social care alone. This year we have seen the emergence of World Class Commissioning which will cover both health and social care.
Unfortunately, despite the wealth of knowledge and expertise contributing to the topic, many practitioners find the topic fragmented and confusing. It is difficult to find the nuggets which are useful on a day to day basis.
The commissioning toolkit collates these nuggets and summarises them in the form of concise guides, checklists and pick-up-and-go tools.
