Following a recruitment campaign, the Commissioning Academy will formally 鈥榦pen the campus gates鈥� for its first intake of commissioners this Friday.

皇冠体育app Commissioning Academy brings together senior commissioners from across the public sector to learn from the example of the most successful commissioning organisations - developing a growing cadre of professionals skilled in best practice.

In total 67 senior commissioners from more than 23 public sector organisations will be participating - split into 3 separate 鈥榗ohorts鈥�. Demand and interest in the academy has been high since launch earlier this year, and with all places filled, commissioners from both central and local government - representing sectors from adult social care, children鈥檚 and young people鈥檚 services, to national resilience, fire and health services - will now commence their programmes.

皇冠体育app focus is on practical peer-led learning covering key commissioning issues, such as outcome-based commissioning, working with the voluntary and community sector, market engagement and development, joint commissioning across organisational boundaries, behavioural insight and new models of delivery such as mutual and joint venture companies.

Francis Maude, Minister for the Cabinet Office said:

皇冠体育app world is changing and so must we - the demand for public services is going up whilst resources are going down. Our public sector must change to meet the long-term challenges and ensure we live within our means.

Since we launched the academy earlier this year we鈥檝e had an exceptional response. 皇冠体育app commissioners who begin their programmes over the next few days are at the forefront of this change and I wish them every success as they progress and bring real improvements to commissioning practices in local and central government.

Nick Hurd, Minister for Civil Society, added:

皇冠体育app UK needs effective commissioners to deliver better outcomes for citizens on ever tighter resources as we rebalance our economy. We need commissioners for whom no option is off the table when designing and delivering efficient public services 鈥� and who are knowledgeable and confident in all potential approaches. 皇冠体育app Commissioning Academy will develop a growing cadre of trailblazing professionals that understand how the public sector best uses the resources available.
