Commissioning

Commissioning is the process by which services are ‘planned’ ‘purchased’ and ‘monitored’. We ‘commission’ in order to make things happen that achieve positive outcomes for our residents, communities and society based on knowing their needs, wants, aspirations and experience. We also ‘commission’ for internal needs and requirements to ensure that the Council is efficient and effective.

Good commissioning is achieved through a whole system approach to ensure the best use of all resources in a local area through joint approaches between the public, voluntary and private sectors.
