Strategic Commissioning Intentions Antony Dixon, Strategic Commissioning Manager, Quality and Commissioning, Nottingham City Council Providers &Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS) 27th July 2011
Purpose • Provides background and rationale to Strategic Commissioning Intentions (SCIs) • Details year 1 SCI priorities • Outlines the “Commissioning Pathway” to be used to turn these intentions into improved outcomes on the ground • Sets out where, how and when Providers/VCS will potentially be involved in the process of applying the Pathway
SCIs – origins Improved outcomes for citizens Reduced costs Greater investment in prevention and EI Greater citizen choice/local jobs Commissioning Pathway Strategic Commissioning Intentions
SCIs – why they are important • Will deliver improved outcomes for citizens at reduced cost and drive a shift towards greater investment in prevention • Drive market development, early intervention, citizen engagement, commissioning, contracting, procurement activity • Influence what VCS and providers need to be preparing for • Help embed commissioning framework throughout the city
Defining SCIs • Starting point headline outcomes for adults & children in Nottingham Plan, CYPP and emerging Vulnerable Adults Plan • “Sub-outcomes” defined for each to give a more specific focus – then assessed against four key criteria (“demand factors” [need and finance], links to priorities, quality of outcome, council influence) • Year 1 about improving outcomes which relate to Children, Families and Adults where Council has a strong degree of influence on outcome. Plan for Year 2 is to focus on wider set of city priorities
Emerging “yr 1” SCI priorities • Based on assessments following priorities identified: • More effective and sustainable approach to whole-life disability • Vulnerable older citizens enabled to live independently in their own homes • People with learning disabilities supported more effectively and sustainably, and better enabled to live independently in the community • Improving the quality of life and independence of citizens with poor mental health • Effective support for school-age children in our care • First two reviews (whole-life disability & older citizens living independently) are commencing now
Vulnerable Adults Plan (VAP) • First ever comprehensive plan to meet needs of growing number ofvulnerable adults in the city • Draft plan built up from extensive range of existing knowledge and to be presented to Council Executive early July • It will need to be subject to extensive consultation and joint work including VCS to shape it further, and vitally get ownership for way forward • It does however : • set out key action strands and underpinning principles • help inform priorities over the short-term: and: • positions connection with other plans and how we need to work in future with partners and with citizens

Next steps – SCIs and Pathway • Build in feedback from today into SCIs and Commissioning Pathway • SCIs and Pathway now agreed by Council’s Executive Board Commissioning Sub-Committee in July • Agreed intentions and pathway communicated to VCS and other providers • First two reviews using Commissioning Pathway commencing now – with other year 1 reviews scheduled to start in October • Determine year 2 & 3 SCI’s
Key Questions • Does the level of involvement/engagement feel appropriate? If not how could it be improved? • How can diversity of providers interests be represented in the Pathway? • What is the best method of engagement during each stage of the reviews? • What does the Pathway mean for the future of the Provider Forum – how may it evolve?
