Commissioning for
Better Outcomes
Jon Glasby and Catherine Mangan
June 2014
Work so far
Literature review
 Interviews with 21 key stakeholders from a range
of perspectives – representatives of national
organisations, commissioner, provider and social
care users
 Two workshops at the ADASS Spring seminar
 Five stakeholder events: prevention, coproduction, market development, outcomes
based commissioning, workforce

Initial findings

Ambiguity of terms
– Commissioning
– Co-production
– People using social care
Findings from literature review
Evidence base for the impact of commissioning is
patchy and under-developed.
 Wealth of guidance and good practice to drive
quality and outcomes for health and wellbeing for
people using social care services and their carers.
 Often not clear on what basis examples of good
practice are being cited.
 Conclusions about how commissioning is working to
achieve better outcomes is limited.

Wicked issues
Financial pressures, increased expectations and
demographics
 Lack of evidence of impact for commissioning
 Challenge of meaningful co-production with social care
users, family, carers and communities
 Integrated commissioning and the need to adopt a
whole life, whole system perspective
 Potential tension between personalisation and
population focused commissioning.
 Intelligent use of information and data limited by
capacity, accuracy of data held and
information sharing issues

Wicked issues
Changing the relationship with providers
 Prevention or diversion?
 Tensions around cost and quality
 Economy of scale or granularity of services?
 Disproportionate attention given to the needs of
particular groups
 Challenge of equity
 Outcomes based commissioning – how to do it
and likely impact
 Workforce - commissioner capacity
and provider staffing quality


Developing the standards

Two key areas:
Good commissioning is championed within local
councils
 Good commissioning is integrated with other
public services

Example: Good commissioning is supported through the leadership,
values and behaviour of elected members, senior leaders, and
commissioners of services. It is underpinned by principles of coproduction, personalisation and integration.
Example: Good commissioning coproduced with people and their
communities. Co-production is a relationship with social care users; their
family carers and communities that is underpinned by the principles of
equality, diversity, accessibility and getting something back from putting
something in.
Developing the standards
 What standards would you want to see?
 What might excellent/good/acceptable
look like?
 What evidence would you expect to draw
on?
 What format would be of most use?
 How could you use the standards?
Next steps
 Development of standards
– by end August
 Testing in areas in September –
volunteers??
 Development of peer challenge approach
 Launch at NCAS conference – October
