Commissioning
This concept reviews commissioning and explores various factors that must be taken into account during the commissioning process.
Technique Overview
Commissioning Definition
Commissioning is the process of specifying, securing and monitoring services to meet individual needs at strategic level. The UK Cabinet Office defines the commissioning process as the cycle of assessing the needs of people in an area, designing and then securing appropriate services. Commissioning can be applied to all services whether they are provided by the local authority, or by private or voluntary sectors (Mead, 2004; Murray, 2008).
