Code of Practice What is it?
It is a commissioning framework for public and third sector organisations. However, it is recognised that it relates to good practice in commissioning that can be applied more broadly. It has been designed to work alongside existing commissioning frameworks and guidance. It is intended to contribute to:
- Improving commissioning and service planning processes
- Designing and delivering public services that are citizen centred, needs based and outcomes led
- Identifying and removing barriers to third sector involvement in public service delivery
The Code of Practice is one of the outputs of the Commissioning Policy Development Project for public and third sector organizations in Merthyr Tydfil and Rhondda Cynon Taff, which is supported by the Merthyr Tydfil Compact and both Local Service Boards. You can find out more about the project by looking at the On a Mission Briefings below.
