Commissioner Services

Understanding your needs

Today's clinical commissioners have an immediate and continuing responsibility to commission high quality care and improve health outcomes for patients. Whether commissioning from the NHS healthcare community or the wider healthcare market, the Department of Health requires that contracts are put in place for all commissioned services. We specialise in helping NHS organisations put the right contracts in place to achieve the patient outcomes they want. We assess the healthcare market and, where appropriate, undertake procurements on behalf of NHS commissioners.

Our experience

We know putting effective contracts in place demands the right knowledge, experience and approach to ensure compliance with ever-changing procurement law, Department of Health guidance and NHS financial rules. Importantly, we ensure you are protected from the risks associated with the increasing number of legal challenges and cases considered by competition regulators. With a proven track record based on consistently high Net Promoter Scores (NPS) from customers, you can feel confident you are partnering with an organisation recognised for professionalism and high standards in the procurement of healthcare services.

Maximising resource

Our core aim is to help you secure best value services for patients and taxpayers and remain in control. Working on your behalf, we coordinate effective collaborative working between commissioners where there are shared commissioning priorities. We offer a choice of flexible approaches that can quickly scale to the level you require including Project Support (a tailored service offering financial flexibility and competitive rates available on either an individual or multiple project basis) and Managed Service (we'll operate as an integrated part of your commissioning team, including agreement of an annual workplan to support the delivery of your commissioning priorities, enabling you to access our specialist resources at the best rates.
