Agenda item - Integrated Commissioning Strategy

RESOLVED:

1             That the Board requests officers produce a report that sets out the principles and approach (as set out within the Policy Framework) for the development of a commissioning strategy linked to the development of the integrated commissioning function to be presented to the Health and Wellbeing Board in autumn 2018.

The report will aim to:

· Define the scope and purpose of the new strategy including individual services

· Identify key stakeholders including internal and external providers, residents and other interested parties

· Review and analyse current commissioning practice identifying strengths, weaknesses and areas for improvement

· Investigate best practice in commissioning and make recommendations for adoption

· Identify and understand key providers markets

· Review and analyse the use and role of technology

13.1    Officers introduced the report which built on the previous market position statement produced in 2014. The new market positioning strategy would be produced in partnership with the CCG and would allow the development of a wider commissioning strategy.

13.2    David Liley asked how a new commissioning strategy would align with NHS arrangements, the CCG alliance and the STP.

13.3    Officers responded that the strategy was separate from policies which already existed and laid out how services would be procured in the city by the Council and CCG. The scope of the document would have to be very clear.
