Delivering effective commissioning and
contract management is right at the heart of our Transformational
ambitions. Indeed, the inputs of the Commissioning and Contracts
team are critical to the success of the vast bulk of transformation
/ improvement projects that are either already underway or planned.
The size and scale of this challenge should not be underestimated
and there is a clear and obvious need to ensure that the
commissioning function is stable and robust in order to maximise
its effectiveness moving forward.
Crucially, the move towards the development of a strategic
commissioning approach with external partners is a key element of
the Doncaster Place Plan. This will include moves towards joint
commissioning arrangements where appropriate / achievable. The
Commissioning and Contracts team will play a key role in this
work.
