Commissioning and Procurement Strategy
•Commission the services under one procurement broken down into different
lots for service areas
•Could be 1 or a group of suppliers and can bid for as many lots as you wish
•Contract for each lot
•The contract(s) will complement the personalisation agenda it is expected
that a greater number of service users will take Person Budgets and apply
their own choice and control to meet their care needs.
•Procurement to commence in November
