COMMISSIONING

Creating and delivering highly effective commissioning strategies and plans

PLANNING, CONTRACTING, DELIVERING & MONITORING

Commissioning and planning for any kind of service involves a diverse range of activities and skills.  At its most fundamental, commissioning embraces understanding need, planning, contracting, delivering, monitoring within finite resources and managing a conflict on priorities and resources.  

In-Form Solutions are experienced at creating and delivering effective and imaginative commissioning strategies, programme and plans which meet the needs of the local health and social care communities and focuses on patients' and residents needs, all within tight financial constraints. We have extensive experience of international commissioning as well as the NHS and private sector commissioning, which help us to find new and imaginative ways of delivering services focused on the end user.
